Video: flour mill tour for kids

Miller: 'Where does flour come from?'

Child: 'Tesco'

A pretty saddening response, huh?  According to a miller who runs mill tours for schoolchildren, this is a common answer.

Educating youngsters about where food comes from is vitally important.  But in the UK at least, strict health and safety rules mean that inviting visitors to the flour mill is a bit of hassle.

With that in mind, the Friday video this week is a tour of a flour mill aimed at children.  The milling department at Kansas State University give an informative presentation on the how flour is made.
