Explanation
All our food comes from plants or from animals. Fruits, vegetables, rice and wheat come from plants. Milk, eggs and cheese come from animals. Farmers grow crops on farms. Wheat is a crop. A mill turns wheat into flour. A baker uses the flour to make bread.

Wheat grows in a field. A mill makes it into flour. Then a baker makes flatbread.
