Vegemite Oh the humanity!

If you are an expat Aussie or even a Kiwi living in the good ole’ US of A then prepare for a shock. The US Gov has banned acai online Vegemite.

The bizarre crackdown was prompted because Vegemite contains folate, which in the US can be added only to breads and cereals.

So in a world gone mad with bureaucracy we all lose a little more freedom. No longer can you spread Vegemite on a piece of breakfast toast.

NOTE: For international readers, if you have no idea what Vegemite is, then I encourage you to try it out if you can… preferably spread as thick as possible (Eaten by the spoonful is best).

Happy Birthday.
