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.

See the dangerous things that happen when a country signs the "UN Treaty on the Rights of the Child"? England and Canada have been prime examples of the out-landishness that putting the govenment in control of "all things children" will do - both to society and, most importantly, to the family.
I don't understand why the simple option of personal preference isn't taken into consideration here. So now, in England, are we to assume that children can't prefer one candy over another, one flavor over another, Italian food instead of Chinese? I suppose so.
So, just in case you didn't know, the things that make your children unique and wonderful also - according to the 'state' - make them racists.
Will they then start putting pets to sleep because they prefer certain people over others? Have you ever seen a dog raised in the home white people that barked at people of other ethnicities walking down the street? Is that dog racist or does it simply enjoy its own family and the safety of its own home? Once when we went to Holmes County and were about to take an Amish buggy ride, the gentleman driving our buggy had the only white buggy horse used by an Amish family. He said that when they go "to meeting" on Sundays that he had to tie up his buggy "out of biting distance" because the other bay colored (dark brown body w/black mane, forlock & tail) horses didn't like him and woud bite him! Were those horses racists?
What these government "experts" don't want to understand is that everyone, even an animal, has a personal preference. Our taste buds enjoy different things. God made us unique! Uniqueness is something utterly lost when the government gets involved...you MUST like every type of food!...you MUST go to a school confined to one building...only with children of the same age...only taught by government fed teachers who only teach what they were taught...the WAY they were taught to teach it! Whew!
Freedom is far less exhausting!
