Potato or Tomato?
Watch as kids in an elementary school class in Huntington, West Virginia have trouble identifying fresh fruits and vegetables. Huntington has been called the unhealthiest city in America where nearly half of the adults are considered obese.

#2 sorry, no special achievement in that. We all should know each and every of those. It's not like he was showing them some exotic stuff. I was shocked at the tomato and the potato. Hell, have these kids never eaten a salad or eaten any dish witch potatoes?
When I was young I was at the farm of my grandparents in summer and we just walked in the garden in the morning to gather paprika, tomatoes, onions and eggplant, cut all in pieces and threw it in the pan. Great times...

#3 Same childhood I had too man It's sad to see that in places like America food is processed at a such a high level that probably only has 1% of the original ingredient. I mean come on, I've seen cheese spray from America (just like whipped cream spray ), I mean seriously ,WTF ???? cheese spray... thats... pure cancer... Perks of living in a country like mine that is not so evolved yet, is that they dont have money to process food that much, so here organic/bio/eco food/vegetables/fruits here are not a thing yet, we still have grown vegetables and fruits and not fabricated ones. for example, most of the fruits/veggies/milk products, are made locally, for example, I can go now 5 mins away and I can buy milk that was milked this morning, and if i go in the morning ,it is still warm. thats REAL milk not what you buy from supermarkets... It's sad to see people thinking that shit in mcdonald burgers is CHEESE , that is not cheese, that is shit. I've eaten stuff from america because my relatives sent me, its not bad, but doesnt taste natural at all. To be honest, no wonder so many fat people are in america and that obesity is a huge problem there, I drank coca cola and fanta from america, and i was shocked how much sweeter they are from cocacola and fanta that i drank from many countries of Europe... Even My uncle after he came back in Romania on vacation from US said that he wants to drink some romanian fanta, because the one in US is just to sweet, he cant finish a half liter bottle. Speaking of fruits and vegetables, Romania lately is actually making huge progresses in export, because our production is 10 times better from other EU countries. ive eaten fruits and veggies from spain, italy, germany, and they all taste like plastic or literately have no taste. Once I had some guests from Spain, and they were shocked how the potatoes, tomatoes and other stuff taste in Romania. We gave them like 30 KG of fruits and vegetables to take with them back in Spain

A similar thing would happen in Scotland in the UK where a delicacy is deep battered Mars bar (A bit like a snickers but without the nuts (too healthy). In England we complain if we get bones in our fish the Scot's complain if they get any fish in their batter

I remember reading about how some kids were having dinner at a friends...when they got home they told their parents that their friends were so poor...they had to make their own chips from potatoes! And if you think that's bad...I lived in Cornwall ( SW UK ) for several years, we had a cattle market there, one day while walking through the market I came across a bunch of kids from a school in Plymouth ( the real one lol )...who when they saw the cows asked what they were, I turned round and asked how many of them liked milk...all the hands went up 'that's where you get milk from' ( pointing to the udders ). So many inner city kids have absolutely no idea of where their food comes from..its sad really.

Thank god we avoided west for so long. there is a shop in my building with home grown stuff, market 800 m away, my mother plants her own just 8km away.. we have this incredibly tasty volovsko srce tomatoes.. mountain potatoes.. paprika.. onions..garlic..
and then my granny's apples with worms inside,pears, apricots, peach, grapes.. strawberries blueberries.. coming next 2 weeks.. and when they offer me jobs in ireland or scandinavia and wonder why i refuse although my firm is on the verge of bankruptcy month after month.

#4, #14.very good comments...and the video is appalling, knowing that it is the parents who raise their children to be so uneducated to the most basic in life, food! I didn't grow up on a farm, but I always had a vegetable garden, always involved my kids in preparing fresh seasonal food since they were little, always went berry picking on farms, and harvesting wild greens in the forests with them in the spring and summer, those were some of our best memories, now all of them are adults, but still have a passion for "real" food and two became chefs. I'm not saying this to brag, I'm saying this because there was no effort and it was so easy to do.
