Australians don't seem to be taking the Vegemite ban seriously. They
also don't seem to be taking obesity seriously either. Right after the
AFC released its preliminary findings (actual suggestions are in the
summer) Australia's largest newspaper ran an editorial saying childhood obesity was a myth.
I don't know any Americans who can vouch for how salty Vegemite is
because every person I know whose tasted it said they took one bite and
spit it out. It's supposedly revolting but then again, that's the way
the French feel about peanut butter. The container says its made up of
five percent salt which is comparable to barbecue sauce.
If Vegemite was banned it would affect
America as much as Australia. Not in terms of spread choice but in terms of
money. Vegemite is a brand name and that name is owned by none other
than Kraft.

Ew. No. Don't do what Heather said. I used to date a boy who's mom was from Australia, and they always had Vegemite in the house. They finally convinced me to try it once. Its not the saltiness of it that hit me. It was the vileness...the flavor was like a rotten fish had been smeared on toast. That is NOT a good thing, and I don't get the attraction to it. Not one bit.
Now, the idea of banning all things that one might want to put on toast is effing ridiculous. Have the Aussies gone crazy?
