Quick, what’s oatmeal made of?
If you’re like the folks questioned in a recent national survey, half of you will have answered wheat. That’s right. A recent Gallup poll revealed when it comes to the origins of their food, Americans aren’t exactly outstanding in their fields. Not only do half of us think oatmeal is made of wheat (it’s made from oats, in case you’re wondering), but half of us don’t realize that white bread is made from wheat.
Of course our ignorance makes sense to some degree-fewer than five out of every 100 Americans now grow up on a farm. Most of us think food simply comes from the grocery store.
