LONDON, July 7 (UPI) -- Toddlers who say "yuck" when given flavorful foreign food may be exhibiting racist behavior, a British government-sponsored organization says.

The London-based National Children's Bureau released a 366-page guide counseling adults on recognizing racist behavior in young children, The Telegraph reported Monday.

The guide, titled Young Children and Racial Justice, warns adults that babies must also be included in the effort to eliminate racism because they have the ability to "recognize different people in their lives."

The bureau says to be aware of children who "react negatively to a culinary tradition other than their own by saying 'yuck'."

"Racist incidents among children in early years settings tend to be around name-calling, casual thoughtless comments and peer group relationships," the guide says.

Staff members are advised not to ignore racist actions and to condemn them when they occur.

Oh brother! So if they don't like spaghetti, that means they hate Italians?    

I think it means they don't like new foods.

I don't like [East] Indian food but that doesn't mean I hate them. What nonsense!

I personally think cows are spiritual.  At least before i eat my steak, I pray.  And if my kids say yuck about steak....

the kids arent the problem, it is the raising and the examples they are given. the kid gets the idea of being bad all by themselves. they arent taught to be good.
but haveing the government to do surveys like this and trying to brainwash the parents into beleiving such nonsence is... well..., pittyfull.
