"Farmers in England say that many children are so removed from nature and the land they think carrots grow on trees.

Farmers in the the UK have expressed concern over the number of children in both rural and urban areas that have a complete lack of knowledge about where their food comes from before it arrives at the shops.

Keith Siddorn, who gives tours to children on his farm, said that a lot of children could not identify the animal pork comes from and many get confused about how beef and milk can both come from cows.

"They don't even know whether a carrot is grown in the ground or on a tree. As far as they know, their food comes in a plastic bag from the shop and after that it is very blurred for them," said Siddorn.

What is even more stupid is the fact is NO vegatables grow on trees. Did Bugs Bunny ever get a carrot from a fricken tree? I know those lazy Brit brats watch TV.
