Common vegetables aren't reconized by tweens

Quick -- What vegetable is pictured here?
If you answered celery, you're right. Too easy? You might think so, but according to studies out of the UK, a third (33%) of adolescents (11 to 13-year-olds) can't identify celery. Think that's frightening? Here are some other stats from Diet Blog:
- Over 20% of tweens didn't know what a potato looks like
- 5.5% can't identify a carrot
- 33% of boys couldn't name a cucumber but 90% of girls could
This might not seem like a big deal, but I'm guessing that nearly all of them can identify a French fry or a bag of chips.
What do you think? Does your tween know his or her fruits and veggies?
