This is the best summary I could come up with:


The French government is reportedly examining plans to increase home economic education after a new study which claims one in five young people can't identify everyday vegetables.

Among people aged over 24, also interviewed based on the same images, the results were not promising either: 11% cannot recognize zucchinis and 10% confuse them with cucumbers.

Although the perceived excellence of French cuisine and restaurants has long represented a vital part of the country's cultural identity, these surprising results prove that young people are not making ratatouille at home.

The study shows that the consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables is less frequent among young people, as they resort more to processed dishes (44% compared to 23%).

Infact, 89% of 15-24 year olds prefer starchy foods (pasta, rice, potatoes) and 40% eat canned goods and jars.

More than half of young people aged 15 to 24, 59% of them eat at least once a week in a fast food restaurant, compared to 37% of the entire population.


The original article contains 463 words, the summary contains 165 words. Saved 64%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
