Morning y’all
. . . . . Didja Know?
A survey conducted in the UK by pub restaurant brand Table Table found that almost two thirds, 64%,
of 1,000 respondents between the ages of 7 - 11 don’t know that tuna is a fish.

Additionally, 13% didn’t know beef is the flesh of a cow and 5% thought tomato ketchup comes from
the ground.

I didn't know that, Joy. I get that little kids don't realize beef comes from a cow/steer, but I was real surprised to read that they don't know tuna is a fish.
