According to a survey in New Zealand by Weight Watchers, young people don't know how to cook . . . even though a lot of them THINK they do.

45% of adults born in 1990 or later admit that they don't know how to cook . . . and the ones that CAN cook don't actually make things from scratch. HALF of the people who think they can cook consider heating up chicken nuggets to be cooking.

Four out of five young adults say they NEVER use fresh ingredients when they cook, and two in five couldn't identify a zucchini.

It's not all bad. Many of them said that they use frozen vegetables when they cook, which experts said is almost as healthy as using fresh ones.

But one in five young people said that they usually eat dinner in front of the television, and one in 10 said that they eat it alone in bed.
