New French report claims young people can't identify some vegetables

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.

    Can they narrow it down to either a zucchini or a cucumber?

    The report also suggests a significant number of young people have difficulty maintaining a healthy, balanced diet.

    The secondary conclusion about diet is sort of spurious – like the researchers needed to tack on a reason why their research (funding) is important.
