Egg-laying cows? One in 10 eight-year-olds do not realise pork chops come from pigs - and some even believe cows lay eggs. A new survey also reveals nearly two out of 10 children had no idea where yoghurt came from. And eight per cent of city youngsters did not realise beefburgers came from cows - compared to 3% who live in the country. Two per cent of urban kids thought cows produced eggs. But all children knew milk came from cows. The Dairy Farmers of Britain asked more than 1,000 children aged eight to 15 where they thought eggs, cheese, yoghurt, bacon, pork chops and beefburgers came from. A spokesman said: "A significant proportion, particularly those living in the city, are unaware of the process involved in making their food."
