Unhappy little Vegemites
In a move that is sure to test the coalition of the willing the USA has banned the importation and sale of Vegemite.
I rang Aussie PM John Howard but he was too busy power-walking in his daggy green tracksuit to offer any comment.
It seems Vegemite contains folate which is only allowed in bread and cereals in the US.
It's time we took a stand people!
Vegemite is listed in Wikipedia. It is one of Australia's greatest brands.
A fifty year old Vegemite ad is regarded as one of the ten best Aussie ads ever made.
Me thinks it time for us to ban something quintessentially American.
I know, lets ban Budweiser.
Then again what's the point. No one in Australia would be caught dead drinking it anyway.

It's an outrage that vegemite is banned. Please consider signing my petition at www.savevegemite.com and help get our favourite Aussie icon unbanned.
WE ARE NOT HAPPY LITTLE VEGEMITES!!!!
Too right. Bud tastes like nothing at all. It's ultimately a pointless drink and shouldn't be sold as beer. And its product placement on US tv shows has to be the most irritating ever. Vegemite, however, has its charms, although I confess I'm a Marmite girl. I'd love to see that turning up in kitchens on Desperate Housewives or Heroes.
