31. Where Does Our Food Come From?
A survey by the British Nutrition Foundation
questioned children about where our food comes from.
“Cheese comes from plants,
tomatoes grow underground
and fish fingers are made of
chicken,” according to
many young children
quizzed on where our food
comes from.
Where does cheese come from?
Some of the children thought that cheese came from a plant.
Cheese is a food commonly made from cow’s milk.
But, did you know it’s not just cow’s milk that can make
cheese? Milk from buffalo, goats or sheep can be used too.
Mozzarella cheese (often used on pizzas) is made from the
milk of buffalos.
Where does pasta come from?
When questioned, some children thought pasta
comes from animals. Pasta is made from flour
mixed with water or eggs. It is kneaded into a
dough (a bit like bread) and then made into
sheets, twists, tubes or other shapes. It is cooked
by either boiling or baking.
Where do tomatoes come from?
Some children thought that tomatoes grow underground – a
bit like carrots. They do, in fact, grow above the ground on a
plant. The tomato plant can grow to be very tall. When they
first grow, they are green but as they ripen, they turn red.

32. Where do fish fingers come from?
The clue for the ingredients of a fish finger is in the
title. No, it doesn’t mean they are made from
fingers! They are made from fish. Shockingly
though, some children thought they were made
from chicken. Fish fingers are usually made from
haddock or cod, which are types of fish.
Where does milk come from?
Do you ever stop to think where your food and drink comes
from? Some children have no idea that milk comes from
cows, research has revealed. Lots of children live in cities
and so have never seen a cow, or even heard one ‘moo’.
Some children said they thought milk comes straight from
the fridge or supermarket, but how did it get there? The
research also revealed that some city-living children
believe that a cow is the size of a double decker bus, and
some think they’re as small as cats.
What counts as one of your five-a-day?
Some children thought that Fruit Pastilles and
strawberry jam counted as part of their daily
fruit and veg. There are lots of health benefits
to getting five portions of fruit and vegetables
every day.
Many children say they know lots about healthy eating, but do not follow it. Why do you
think that is?
Roy Ballam, Managing Director of British Nutrition Foundation, believes schools and
families should work together to educate children and motivate them to make healthier
choices.
Next time you’re in the supermarket, stop and think about where your food and drinks
have come from.
The survey by the British Nutrition Foundation questioned 5,040 UK children.
