No one should be expecting them to know how to eat the right foods or **** like that

I don't think that's the issue here, it's the fact they don't know where food comes from. And that is a direct result of a flaw in our society as a whole. We are losing touch with the most basic of life skills. 

You remind me that it's such a wonderful thing to love.

But how important is it for a 4 year old to know where a hot dog comes from? Can you name me a time in recent history when a generation of 4 year olds had to live life on their own, hunt for their food, etc? :laughga: This study isn’t a debating focus and did it’s job of getting hits. If people want to talk about the poor education system in America they should do it on more relevant research.

Yeah, this is cute, but meaningless. Come back with the numbers for adults.

No life skills involved here, either. They probably know where food comes from: the grocery store, or the restaurant. If you're arguing that they need to know farm skills, those are "life skills" for an increasingly tiny fraction of the population, and that's not going to change, short of the collapse of civilization. (Of course I think people should know about food production in the abstract -- not necessarily how to do it, but enough to vote sensibly on related policies, for instance.)

Don't try to trick me that they don't grow on plants when I've seen them with my own eyes. 

Can I have a side of mustard with that then? :bear:

And what's wrong with a kid having a little imagination? We already live in a society where they're forced to grow up too fast. Believing in Santa Claus for a while ain't hurting no one. 

I wonder whether kids still believe in Santa Claus these days, when a simple Google search tells you right away that it's a fictional character (and the ones who look it up will spoil it for the others). That's sad.

The fact the cow is missing a front leg is sending me :air:

If you zoom in, you can actually see her second leg behind. :enigma:

Maybe you all shouldn't get triggered by the state of knowledge of little kids? How much did you know about the world at 4 years old?

The society isn't gonna forget where the bacon comes from so don't act like it

Who exactly was triggered in this thread? I see amusement and a discussion around the educational system in America.
