Study Finds Surprising Number of Americans Think Chocolate Milk Comes From Brown Cows
NBC4I ^ | 6/15

According to a recent survey, seven percent of Americans believe chocolate milk comes from brown cows.

The survey was conducted by the Innovation Center of US Dairy in April. 1,000 adults 18 and over were asked questions about the role milk plays in their daily lives, Food & Wine reported.

The study found 48% of respondents weren’t sure where chocolate milk came from. Seven percent thought chocolate milk only comes from brown cows.

That adds up to about 16.4 million people, more than the population of Ohio.

The Washington Post linked the study to past studies that consistently show many Americans have no idea where their food comes from. For example, a study in the 1990s found that nearly 20% of people did not know hamburgers are made from beef.

True. Who here doesn’t have fond memories of Bosco?

But stupid polls produce a lot of bad answers, and that’s what I was aiming at.

When I was around 5, I thought white babies got white milk from momma, and...well you can see where this is going.

They were pointing out on the radio this morning that while 7% of the population believes chocolate milk comes from brown cows, 6% of the population trusts journalists are telling the truth.

You are more likely to believe brown cows give chocolate milk than believe the MSM!

It is also a little-known fact that chocolate steak and chocolate hamburgers also come from brown cows.

See there? The pure ignorance in this country is disgraceful. Public schools are purposely responsible for this ignorance.

PLUS, it’s time to document IQ scores of political candidates.

Ever see photos of those skinny, emaciated cows in India? That's where your fat free milk comes from.............
