Can't believe what I saw on the news tonight that they were talking about the possibility of vegemite being slugged with a fatty foods tax or being banned in Australia all together !!!

They say because it is high in salt but 99% of society that ets vegemite surely only has it spread lightly on toast or in a sandwich.

Will be devestated if this Australian icon would be banned from the shelves, as too would many other people I would say.

disgraceful

if they banned everything that 'wasn't good for you' we would all starve or dehydrate to death

Julia Gillard said she is a happy little Vegemite

They have been poisoning us since birth.

Let the Japs take this ICON.

Prefer Marmite anyway

I would assume they would take smiths Crisps pies Coke etc off the shelves .BUT WAIT we can all DRINK BOOZE AND SMOKE TOBACCO as these raise large amounts of revenue for the government.

what will I have for 9.30 morning tea at work If I can't have sao's and vegiemite!!!

wasn't there a 'pa will' as well ?

vegemite, marmite & pa will


& the old saying that went with it ma mite if pa will

promite kicks ar3edont rate vegemite. isnt what they are saying that it will just have a higher tax the same that chips etc all have already and we still buy it. if people want something they will still buy it

Vegemite changed its name to Parwill in 1928. The rationale being that "If Marmite, then Parwill" Not surprisingly, the name never caught on and it was only sold as Parwill for a short time in QLD

The name Vegemite was reinstated in 1935.

Its amazing the amount of crap my brain chooses to remember!

Im with ya on that one
How can anything beat vegemite,
marmite gimme a break!

I've been trialling all the Mites lately...nothing better to do I guess
I love Vegemite but thought I'd give the others a go.

Firstly tried Mighty Mite by Three 3's (Australian made and owned). Really weird consistency, hard to spread and you have to keep it in the fridge which is another factor against it. Gluten free. Nice taste though but the consistency puts me off. If they fixed that I would definitely try again.

On Marmite (Sanitarium) at the moment and I love it, haven't had it since I was a kid when it was probably too strong for me. Certainly a stronger taste than VM.

Next I will try Promite (have horrible memories of that as a kid...) and Dick Smith's Aussie Mite if they still make it.

Are you anywhere near zippy cos he's been eating it

We grew up with it in the UK...there was only Marmite as far as I know. I did try Vegimite when staying with a mate who married an Aussie and crossed over but it was nasty and made me retch amp;
