Thousands of British children think cows lay eggs, a survey has suggested.
Townies fared worst in the research designed to find out if kids know where their food comes from.
Dairy Farmers of Britain asked more than 1,000 children aged eight to 15 where they believed food like cheese, yoghurt and beef burgers originated.
Although knowledge improved with age, more than one in 10 (11%) of eight-year-olds did not know that pork chops come from pigs.
City children were almost three times as likely not know that beef burgers come from cows as their rural counterparts - 8% against 3%.
