---------- Do You Know What You're Eating? -----------------   

LONDON - A British poll on eating habits found that 36   
percent of children were unaware that french fries, or chips,   
are made from potatoes. Nearly 1-in-10 of the 1,002 children   
between 8 and 14 questioned by the British Heart Foundation   
thought chips were mostly made of oil, while others suggested   
salt, eggs, flour, and even apples, The Telegraph reported.   
Another 37 percent did not know that cheese was made mostly   
of milk. "Kids have lost touch with the most basic foods and   
no longer understand what they are eating," said Peter   
Hollins, the foundation's director general.
