The only surprise here is that the percentage is so low.

U.S. Dairy’s Innovation Center surveyed more than 1,000 adults over the age of 18 in April and found that seven percent of respondents thought that brown cows make chocolate milk.

An additional 48 percent of respondents did not know that chocolate milk is made of milk mixed with cocoa butter and sugar.

The survey has attracted its fair share of snarky critics.

“Um, guys, it comes from cows – and not just the brown kind,” wrote Elisabeth Sherman of Food & Wine.

Snarky critics aside, agricultural experts say the survey’s results show a growing trend where Americans are “agriculturally illiterate,” meaning they do not know the process of how food goes from the farm to the kitchen table or how other food items are made.

A 1990s study commissioned by the Department of Agriculture found that almost 1 in 5 adults did not know that most hamburgers are made from beef.

That study also showed that Americans did not know the type of food animals eat or the size of farms in the U.S.

The problem of food illiteracy is not just isolated to adults.

In one study from 2011, researchers found that more than half of the fourth, fifth, and sixth-grade students they interviewed did not know pickles were cucumbers or that vegetables such as onions came from plants.

Studies, however, say this is not representative of all of Americans. People who live in agricultural areas, as well as people with higher incomes and education levels, tend to know more about the source of food, according to the Washington Post.

Morons.

And pickles come from jars. Duh.

With the left running education for the past 60 years is this result really all that surprising?

There, that's a more accurate statement. A country of morons indeed.

What part of the chicken does the nugget come from?

When I was a youngster, I could never understand how a brown cow could eat green grass, give white milk, make yellow butter and blue cheese.

And brown eggs come from.... chickens...just plain ordinary chickens.

Dad was the Veterinary USDA Inspector APHIS MPIP at a chicken plant. I visited there a few times. Just about anything they can grind up goes into the processes items. Beaks, buts, floor sweepings. I am not a fan of chicken weenies.

Oh and didn't you know that Hershey syrup is chocolate milk concentrate?

You don't want to know. Trust me on this, it's like hot dogs...

Powdered milk comes from dehydrated cows.

Sour milk from discontented cows.

Butter milk, cows from California.

Ice cream, Cows in Wisconsin.

Skim milk from skinny cows.

And 100% of those 7% reside in large urban crap-holes.

Does anyone know where I can find a strawberry colored
cow to get me some strawberry milk?!

Once again, I hesitate to ask where baby oil comes from.
