>>>”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.

>>>”Maybe the government should start a program to promote the use of Emergen-C. One packet a day would boost everyone right up.”<<<

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

A friend in Australia sent me some Vegemite once (before it was readily available in the U.S.). I liked it pretty well on toast with an egg, because I like salt on my eggs.
