According to a new study, one in five young people (aged 15 to 24) are unable to identify a zucchini in a photo, with 18% seeing it as a cucumber and 2% as an aubergine. The report also suggests a significant number of young people have difficulty maintaining a healthy, balanced diet.
This was my first reaction, too… I’m surprised as hell that 79% of them are getting it right!
That’s pretty obviously a zucchini. They didn’t ask if it’s a zucchini or a cucumber, they asked what it is, and 20% of the people didn’t know. Of the 20% that didn’t know, 18% thought it was a cucumber. Thinking it’s a cucumber is a heck of a lot better than not even knowing what it is at all, but it’s still obviously wrong.
