Though reasons I mentioned before are key ones in Australia, and pretty much apply overall.

True. The junk-food factor is pretty much reflective of the underclass (or college students), while the other items you mention are more of the "good intentions but poor application" sort.

Australia introduced Vegemite to overcome Vitamin B deficiencies. Maybe the government should start a program to promote the use of Emergen-C. One packet a day would boost everyone right up.

>>>”Australia introduced Vegemite to overcome Vitamin B deficiencies.”<<<

You reminded me of a tv commercial about vegemite from time immemorial: ‘ we’re happy little vegemites...’ It’s an acquired taste and spread it on toast sparingly.

The Brits actually have an almost equivalent “Marmite” or even “Bovril”. Vegemite has a sharper, more intense taste than Marmite. Nowadays there’s salt reduced vegemite, but still includes vit B6 & B12. I wouldn’t go on a vegemite diet to get those vitamins though.

Best Vitamin C supplement (tablet) is a slow-release one. Otherwise it’d go thru the body & out very quickly.
