"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. One thousand adults 18 and over were asked questions about the role milk plays in their daily lives, Food & Wine reported.
The study found 48 percent 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."

It shouldn't surprise me, I guess, but it does.
"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 percent of people did not know hamburgers are made from beef."
guess people forgot about Nestle's Quik
This ignorant bliss also makes our population incredibly vulnerable to any major longterm interruption in the food distribution system. The average American has about 3 days worth of food in their home. In the event of a natural disaster or major economic crisis a huge portion of our nation would face food shortages in only a few days.

Actually, most American don't care who grows the food as long as it's available at the supermarket. I have enough vienna sausage for a year.
"Today is MINE"
And Kentucky bourbon for the pain.

Why?
And if for some reason it is not there one day in the future, ,, then they will care.

Later, when I took a lunch break, I was talking to the rancher as he worked on his well pump. I mentioned that I was a city boy (not really, but that's what I said), and I have never been close to cows before. I mentioned I has stopped in the woods and was thirsty, and I figured I would get a drink of milk. I had seen cows milked on TV before, so I figured it was easy.
About this time, he stopped working and listened to my story. I explained that I always thought cows had four "taps", but the cow in the woods just had one big one in the middle, and how I figured it was a just a different breed. Then, I explained how I started milking it. I pulled and pulled for about 10 minutes, and he cow started getting all jumpy. I was just about to give up when finally I got some milk! Unfortunately, it looked curdled and tasted really sour!
The rancher just stared at me in disbelief.

Since you HAD to ask:
That's a question only you would ponder.
LOL!
Cause alcohol is known to work wonders for gout sufferers.
Tell me, what "most of the world" are you referring to, and in what way?
Do you think our food is safer, our methods of distribution more or less efficient, our products better or different from those of other countries?
Having eaten food all over the world -- outside of beef quality in the far east, not exactly something I'd be jumping up and down about -- I really haven't seen it, but perhaps you know something I don't and thus the question.
Thanks...Mike
Obviously, I'm much more familiar with bourbon than I am with gout.
I don't know anyone that thinks chocolate milk comes from brown cows....do you?
Who are these people? Where do they live?
The peopled surveyed were said to be over 18 years old......yet it was only 1000 people.
Where would you go to find a 70 people who think brown cows excrete chocolate milk?
News channel 8 credits Innovation Center for US Dairy, ICUSD credits Today.com for the report. Today.com credits Food and Wine.com for the information. Food and wine credits ICUSD.....
There is no link to the survey.....this is what they call "content".
It didn't happen. I'm telling you... "it didn't happen".
Now... who do you believe?

It sounds like a lobbying organization.

Countries that spend the least
There are only eight countries in the world that spend less than 10% of their household income on food. Four of these are in Europe: the UK is third at 8.2%, followed by Switzerland at 8.7%; Ireland spends 9.6% and Austria 9.9%.
The remaining four countries are spread across the globe. The US spends the least at 6.4%, Singapore spends the second lowest amount at 6.7%. Canada spends 9.1% on food, while Australia spends 9.8%.

Political correctness is a mental disease that can put you in slavery. The only cure is to turn on the brain.
Not my blame if you do something that matches what I don't like.
Vulgus vult decipi, ergo decipiatur
That's not spending the least, though.
Although they suggest something about the EU and markets I do not think you intended, your numbers are relative to income and are meaningless when it comes to knowing which spends the least and are more driven by GDP than by the food industry, and it's no surprise then when the countries that lead in GDP per capita appear at the top of your list.
You said you graduated college, right? I really shouldn't need to tell you this.
Even moving past all this and presuming that's the correct measure, given our (and the EUs and Singapore's) more-stringent food laws would suggest that a market can both thrive and be regulated heavily at the same time -- which, I presume, was not the intent of your post.
Perhaps you should rethink your approach here.

Ever been in a South Korean fish market?
Or a Egyptian open air market?
You better have one hell of a stomach lined with titanium.
