Many children 'think cheese comes from plants'
Almost a third of UK primary pupils think cheese is made from plants and a quarter think fish fingers come from chicken or pigs, suggests a survey.
Nearly one in 10 secondary pupils thinks tomatoes grow under ground, according to the poll for the British Nutrition Foundation (BNF).
Some 27,500 five to 16-year-olds were questioned last month.
The charity says the figures prove the need for better teaching about cooking and healthy eating.
