Chores for kids ages 10-16, what's appropriate?

This isn't about what are they CAPABLE of, because kids at this age are capable of laundry, dishes, yard work and so on, many children around the world do this. 
Light chores: loading dishwasher, cleaning their room, vacuuming their room.
Medium chores: cleaning and vacuuming the house, laundry, clearing the table after meals and setting the table, washing pets.
Heavy chores: cooking all meals for the household a few days a week, cleaning the whole house, doing ironing and laundry, doing all dishes, unloading groceries and putting them away, walking and washing pets.
I ask since I've spoken to parents that seem to think heavy chores are actually CRUEL to children. One of my male friends had to do heavy chores from the age of 10, and thought it was the norm, so he laughed when I repeated what the woman said. 
What is the general consensus?
