Oh boy - way to antagonise one of your closest allies, people. If they can't take their vegemite, hundreds of thousands of Australians will not be visiting the United States...

(Personally, I don't even like the stuff - six years in an Australian boarding school cured me of that - but it really is an Australian icon, and many Aussies overseas go to extraordinary lengths to make sure they can get it.)

Oh, for Heaven's sake! Of all the stupid things.

Folate is a B vitamin, so essentially it doesn't matter how much of it you consume, as your body only absorbs what it needs.

This is asinine. I take a B-complex each day with Folate added. So what if a food product has it added?

We're hap-py lit-tle veg-e-mites
as bright as bright can be,
we all en-joy our Ve-ge-mite
for break-fast, lunch, and tea
our mum-mies say we're grow-ing stron-ger
eve-ry sin-gle week
be-cause we love our Ve-ge-mite
we all a-dore our Ve-ge-mite
it puts a rose in eve-ry cheek

Buying bread from a man in brussels
He was six foot four and full of muscles
I said, do you speak-a my language?
He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich
And he said,

I come from a land down under
Where beer does flow and men chunder
Cant you hear, cant you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover.

I LOVE vegemite. The problem is that it can cause incredible and uncontrollable flatulence. BLAAAAAAAT!!!

Vegamite should only be banned because it tastes horrific.

It's the most disgusting stuff I've experienced since I was a small child. Makes Spam exquisite. Not fit for Yanks.

Seems quite silly to me. And yes Aussies love it, it is their answer to peanut butter, which is not popular down under.
