Wordless Wednesday

WW is a simple blog post featuring a photo which conveys a message that speaks for itself without using words.

For all the rule breakers, of which I am one, please feel free to add all the words you want.

Make sure you leave a link to your post and I’ll visit your Wordless Wednesday post.

Chocolate Milk

7% of American adults believe that chocolate milk comes from brown cows. I know that seven percent doesn’t sound like a lot, but it actually works out at 16.4 million American adults, which is an alarming fact! This shows that one in ten Americans has a flawed understanding of basic science or where their food comes from.  Source: The Fact Site

  1. Tails Around the Ranch – Denver, CO – The inspiration behind this blog was one knuckleheaded Standard Poodle named Sam but is now inspired by a House Pony-Wilson. I'm Monika, the upright. Living in the Denver metro area, we post about dogs, rescue and nature. So grab your favorite beverage and be prepared to howl along with our adventures. And don't forget to bark your 'pup-tacular' comment; we'd love to hear from you.

    Given what some people believe these days, why am I not surprised?

    So many of us are separated from the food growers, and I was one of them in my New York City youth. In fact, I never saw a vegetable garden until I was a teenager, and experienced true fresh veggies for the first time. We need a lot more food education for our youth and adults. Alana ramblinwitham

    Yes, it sounds alarming. And if this it is possible with milk chocolate, I am not surprised
    by the wrong interpretations of other subjects more complicated. Thank you for sharing the site.
    I’ll explore it!
    Happy WW, dear Sandee! Have a fine week, with pleasant sweets! Hugs and thank you

    Sandee that is truly mind blowing??!! You might need to do some Tuesday quotes on that. LOL MOL
    I’m running late this morning we had a new fridge delivered (after 2 1/2 months of waiting), Delivery and removal went well just a few hiccups.
    One guy will be back after 5pm to finish with the icemaker.
    Needed a part that wasn’t with it.

    So many today have not had the experience of farm-to-table, so it makes sense. It is a blessing to know where one’s food comes from or, at least how its is prepared/made. Great share as always Sandee.

    Happy Wordless Wednesday, dear friend. Cheers.

    Seriously, 7% of adults believe this? roll eyes I remember thinking this when I was in grade school but I soon learned chocolate milk did not come from cows. Boy, did I love that stuff!
