From the bbc news website -
"Many British people are unaware that the ingredients for produce such as bacon, porridge, bread and beer come from farms, a survey suggests."

How can such a large proportion of people in a first world country with free access to education be so ignorant of something so obvious?
The article is very poorly written.
Nowhere does it say what questions were actually asked.
For example, you could ask where bacon comes from. The answer could be a choice between a)pigs or b)farms.
The resulting stats could feasibly be used to imply ignorance.
Having said that, I would not be in the least surprised if the stats turn out to be robust. We are a country of many, many incurious idiots.
