Considering how the plants eat all of that nasty carbon and exude oxygen, explain why it’s ethical to be a vegitarian.

I’m a’cryin’ here...

I got a big jar for about $1.99 when I was there last in 2009..

It lasted for months after I got it home...

I used it sparingly..

Its about $6 here in the states for a little wee jar ..

“eats its way through 640 metric tons”

Sheesh! That’s a lot. Kinda reminds me of the “Sh!t On A Shingle” stuff we got fed at private school dorm. Either you loved it or hated it. I loved it!

It's an iconic New Zealand brand,...

Years ago, I vacationed in NZ. Never saw Marmite that I can remember, but more than one breakfast came with those single serving containers of Vegemite.

I was quite surprised to see "Kraft" on the label.

My English mom craved Marmite when she was pregnant with me, but she was in the States and couldn’t find it at the time. Maybe if she had had some, I would have liked the taste. Not a fan. I think she puts it on toast. One of my older brothers likes it, but he was born in England some maybe he developed a taste in the womb.

Marmite’s not made from plants, it’s made from yeast, which is a fungus.
