A google news search for this only brings up articles from Australia. Either this is a rumor that is not really true or no one in America cares (I know I don't.)

Looks to me like another newspaper trying to gin up anti-Bush and anti-American feelings.

Who GIVES a crap about their stupid Vegamite???

We have a right to ban ANYTHING from any other country.

Hey! I am having blogger envy. I want to be quoted. I do. I do. :-)

Next thing you know we'll be having to get managers and PR agents. Ho Hum. Filing nails. :-)

Brewer's Yeast (dry powdered form) is a perennial in health food stores. It's supposed to be rich in B vitamins and was apparently used successfully in the american south by the U.S. Health Service in the dirty thirties to stave off pellagra and ricketts in kids.

Does anyone know if there's any legitimate reasoning behind banning this stuff?

The US bureaucracy is huge - to put it mildly... To blame Bush for every dumb thing it does is plain stupid.

The FDA is denying entry to the vegemite, so goes the story, because it is supplemented with folate. That's OK in Australia but is only allowed for breads and cereals in USA.

Congress should be asked to pass a Vegemite Act. The amount of folate that one could get from the amount of vegemite one could stomach, would be very little.

Vegemite is a fair dinkum delicacy!

This stuff is really revolting. I "billeted" with families for two summers (winters, there) while singing in Australia. Couldn't bear to eat that stuff.

Oh, the horrors of cuisine australienne!

I tried that stuff once. Once was enough. It's amazing that they could ruin salt by mixing it with whatever else Vegemite is made of.
