I have a feeling Cathy that anyone who would buy a plane ticket to get vegemite smokes the jars and throws out the contents? It can be ordiered via web sources FYI.

My lord you people are morons. Vegemite is 100% legal in the United States. I’m downing a sandwich as I type.

vegimite is so incredibly good for you.
if you are a smoker, a drinker, using hormonal contraceptive, drug taker of any kind of a planning on having a healthy pregnancy you should be eating Vegemite out of the jar with a spoon. It is the highest known source of vitamin B, and if you ever find the time to look up the health benefits of B1 B2 B3 and folate you’ll be happily suprised.

You say I got suckered, and yet the update says exactly the same thing as snopes.com. Are you calling them suckers, too?

I saw your update and in it you still give the impression there was or is a ban when you talk about getting things into the US.

There never was any ban. You got suckered by an urban legend and ran with it.

Safeway in Alberta stopped selling Vegemite and replaced it on their shelves with Marmite from England. When I emailed them and asked why they couldn’t give me a reason. This English version of Marmite is just terrible and nothing like the Vegemite and Marmite I ate growing up in New Zealand.

I miss vegemite every morning so does my daughter, i wonder if any australian has ever suffered a chronic vegemite ailment? i have never heard of it? they should be more concerened with banning the excessive fat in the fast food outlets than worrying about getting extra vitamins!
I also thought it was very typically australian of the messages to have somehow managed to get around to the topic of beer, i personally really miss a 50 (half tooheys old and half tooheys new) Also a new beer that came out not long before i left called blue tongue – i would suggest you all taste test this one on your next trip home.

I can’t see what the fuss is about even though I’ve never tried it I think that people should be able to eat what they want when they want to. Also I think eating a new food is a great way of learning a new cultural experience.

I can’t understand the ban. If its about too much folate…
what the heck is wrong with that. I guess the US doesn’t mind other additives to food like aspertame… which causes brain tumors and other terrible side effects..and is made from formaldyhide. Bring back the Vegemite. It was here in Canada when I arrived 8 years ago. Why the sudden change of tactics. I’m 56 and I’m a strong and healthy Aussie gal. Grew up on the stuff. BRING IT BACK ..
