AOG, surely Muslim kids are most likely to know where bacon comes from, as will Jewish ones. It's the animal, not specifically named products made using its flesh, they are forbidden to eat. It follows that in seeing that they are not to eat, or do not eat, bacon or pork sausages etc they must know its from the forbidden animal.
This year's survey from LEAF is remarkable when compared to last year's. That showed that 50 per cent of adults didn't know that robins were permanently resident in the UK, 50 per cent thought bees made honey from pollen, 20 per cent didn't know acorns came from oaks, 40 per cent didn't know deciduous trees lost their leaves in Autumn and, of 18-24 year-olds, a quarter didn't know that tadpoles became frogs.Those were the highlighted findings in LEAF's press release. That this year a third of 16-23 year-olds have professed ignorance of far more obvious and commonly known facts than those, rather suggests that their professed ignorance was not 100 per cent genuine
