Woo, go US legal system!
In my experience, this man (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpsFKkkLPno) represents everything wrong with our legal system. (He had better, more insane ads, but I couldn't find any on youtube)
Ohh dear...Seems like I was right....SOme americans are just afraid of food....EVEN IF ITS GOOD FOOD!
That makes me sad. :< Maybe I can get some while in Canada.
Another reason to leave the US... Evil food laws.
GOOD.
I can rest easy now, knowing that there is no more vegemite on American soil.

Never heard of this Vegemite stuff though. Is it like Marmite?
See? I told you about the War-Against-Food, but no-one believed me!
Anyway, you can make your own - it's only marmite that's been watered-down with margarine. >:3

Mission: Accomplished.
Well, not seriously. While I may not particularly like Vegemite, I see no reason to ban it. I mean, seriously. My theory is that a politician tried the same damn thing I did: Glorping some onto something despite warnings, and then was so grossed out that he DEMANDED that in the name of God, Jesus, and Saint George Washington of the American Way, we invade Australia and wipe them out. When he was informed that he was batshit insane, he had his team of crack lawyers look for a way to ban it.
What was that saying?
"If there's no marmite, use vegemite.
If there's no vegemite, use honey."

Yeast extract. It's basically the same thing as marmite, if you have access to that.
I prefer vegemite myself because of the texture, it makes it easier to handle than marmite which tends to run and leave long black strands of goo, whereas vegemite behaves itself and just stays on the knife. The taste is near-enough identical.

We did! It is called HOLLYWOOD! :mwaha
Vegemite is a food and thus has always been in the "we'll confiscate it if we feel like it" section of the prohibited goods list.
When I checked a year and a half ago, Australian Customs had it as an example of an item that may lead to a search.
Of course, actively enforcing the ban is quite a step up from that.
:o I knew it! I knew it was secretly evil!
And now, a song:
'We're happy little Vegemites, as bright as bright can be,
We all enjoy our Vegemite for breakfast, lunch, and tea,
Our mother says we're growing stronger every single day,
Because we love our Vegemite,
We all adore our Vegemite,
It put a smile in every cheek!'
I mean, any product that can make a jingle that I can still remember after so many years MUST be evil.
And why do people think all Australians love Vegemite? I hate it with a vengence.

Biggest mistake ever with that stuff. Have to spread it thin or it burns the roof off yer mouth. I love Marmite but I tend to spread it far too thick. Well, I used to, but I kinda got the hang of spreading it thinner since...

"Do you come from a land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?

Considering Men at Work is an Aussie band, I think they knew what they were talking about. X3
I imagine a "vegemite sandwich' would just consist of a thin spread of vegemite between two pieces of bread or crackers. Maybe with something else on it, too. I dunno. I don't speak Australian. D:
EDIT: After having talked to my Designated Australian, I guess a vegemite sandwich consists of two pieces of bread, butter and vegemite.
Ew.

It is said several politicians were infected with a chronic disease known as "stupidity," which turned them into "dumbasses." To this day, 9 out of 10 politicians are affected in the same manner. I've fought agains the dumbasses many times, but they have greater numbers, and always seem blissful...

No one said I was moving to the US for it's lack of stupidity or it's wonderfully working government :rolleyes
I want to go to uni (college) in America. Mainly because, believe it or not, they actually have some good ones. Better than Australia at least...
What always amuses my father is the conflicting stereotypes* of Australians being well 'ard, yet apparently being unable to handle undiluted marmite.
Vegemite sandwiches are real, I used to make them for school. Then I settled down into my cheese rut - now I only use vegemite if I run out of cheese. Cheese and vegemite sandwiches are interesting, though.
*It's an image thing. He doesn't really believe that all Australians are well 'ard or that all Australians love vegemite unconditionally. If you want to make a cruel joke about a British stereotype or two, now's your chance. (Offer only valid in Australia.)
I don't like the taste of that stuff myself, but that really is truely retarded. Shouldn't the government be more concerned about other things? Priorities man... PRIORITIES!
nothing like adding another excuse to delay things at the airport.

*Charles shudders* I smelled it once. But actually, you all should check on what other countries ban. The US isn't the only one with illogical import-export policies. Basically, any country that has a beauraucracy in any way involved with imports has some form of odd-ball or illogical restrictions and regulations on something. I recall something with France in the news last year over something silly... wine name lawsuit or something. Or was it cheese? Something to do with if a product had a certain name then it had to come from a particular region or it couldn't have that name, and they complained about it all around the world.

If you people only knew what I know about your own countries.
I don't think anyone is claiming that their own countries are pefect. Just look at Australia's Refugee policy or it's inability to sign one stupid document which would help reduce greenhouse emitions (Why won't we just sign the kyoto agreement >_<?). However, having lived in both America and Australia and being a citizen of both, I have to say that I prefer Australia, even if it's government and policies can seem just as stupid. It's something about the atmosphere of the country.
The people of America are fantastic (or, at least the ones I've met are) and I have a lot of friends who are very patriotic, I think the ideals and beliefs that it's based on are good ones and that its democracy, while not the most effective in the world, works. It's just that the attitude of the American government is starting to wear on the world's nerves.
well... that's my two cents...
:erk WHY!?!?!?!
Do American politicians seriously have nothing to do with their time?
Now we just have to start up a Vegemite black market and make a FORTUNE!!

well... that's my two cents...
I have to say that when it comes to Australia signing the Kyoto Protocol, there is some logic behind why we don't sign. Even though I wish we could limit our emissions as well, it's just that by doing so, jobs could be lost to developing countries (already happening I suppose).
And remember that countries categorised as "developing" don't really have any limits. Australia only contributes 1.1% of all pollution in the world. Compare that to China's... D:
Australia has been working with China since 2004 in an effort to create environmental projects to cut down on emissions as well though.
Still, Australia is behind in so many aspects (environmental or not) that it's not funny. :/

Couldn't agree with you more.
Oh, and what might possibly Charline reveal to us about these scary other countries then? Frankly, I don't find the USA to be Satan. But it has been commercialized and demoralized to one divided by zero. Well, maybe not that far, but the fact remains that many people in the US don't seem to have much more than scraps of morals, common sense and dignity left. Then again, that goes for a great many countries. Take Sweden, for example. Hopefully the new government will set things right there. Or Iran. We need to send some new kind of UN taskforce there and run them over, show who's boss, then leave them completely to settle their problems. Same thing with north Korea. I say we have a duty to rid the world of filth like that, but we don't have the right to tell them how to live. Well, of course not like it was before, since then we'll just come back and run them over again, but you get the point.

Alondro said what I was planning to say. Welcome to the wonderful world of beauracracy. A lot of laws are on the books that are either outdated or just plain silly, and as long as they continue to be on the books they are quite possibly subject to enforcement. I have no idea what the underlying reason for this ban is, however I think we can safely say that very few Americans are going to be contacting their representatives irately demanding access to their gooey imported fungus cultures.

I've got an all-clear! Vegemite isn't banned. (http://www.smh.com.au/news/WORLD/US-govt-denies-its-banned-Vegemite/2006/10/25/1161699372812.htmlhttp://www.smh.com.au/news/WORLD/US-govt-denies-its-banned-Vegemite/2006/10/25/1161699372812.html) :3
At least something is normal... The government denying something. >:3
Isn't that what BucknerBill said, Tiger_T? :-)
So, in other words...those in the US who want Vegemite, go ahead and have it.

Damn musicians useing their powers of public messages to foil evil plots seperation x.x

They'd just be rejected anyway. Nobody likes french canadians, and they're not a bit like actual french people.
I happen to be the son of a full-blooded french-canadian (even though we've lived in America for generations) and I take offense at that remark. We are
not cheese-eating surrender monkeys. We are simply cheese-eating monkeys. http://www.sauna.org/eggnog/archives/carla-monkey-cheese-thumb.jpg
Also, why are they after vegemite? They should be after mayonaise. For crying out loud, it's made of rotten eggs dissolved in vinegar! It's disgusting. :blarf
french canadians aren't cheese eating surrender monkeys, REAL french people are. Since when did I say ANY of that about french canadians? I just said they sucked.

ZOMG!!1! -glomps and luffs on Eibbor-
ANOTHER SASKATCHEWANIAN I'VE FINALLY FOUND!!!! -clings-
Yeah, eight years on the interweb and this is the first person I've found from my province, what does that tell you? :D
And also, I am french canadian, and I cut down a tree. -Finger-

"Yeah, eight years on the interweb and this is the first person I've found from my province, what does that tell you? :D" That tells you all you need to know about our province right there.
I love how, now that the topic has outlived it's purpose, it's degraded into random racial jokes. XD
CARRY ON, LADIES AND GENTS!
So... where do we carry him to?
Hey! The topic hasn't really outlived its purpose.
I've just looked at a box of Quaker Honey Nut Oats and guess what. They have folic acid as a source of vitamins of the B complex! Are they forbidden in the USA too?
It also contained a rather disturbing note: "in Uruguay: oat-based ceral fortified with vitamins and minerals."
1- It has a missing 'e'.
2- Only in Uruguay? What is it here, then?

You should start more threads!

Well, as the article said, I believe ONLY cereals and breads could have ADDED folate. since vegemite has it as a natural part of what it's made of, that makes it clear. And since what you're talking about is apparently a cereal, it's also allowed. And I'm pretty sure USA has it readily available, too. *shrugs* Just takes a closer inspection sometimes, I guess.
Ok, I missed the part where it said it was allowed in cereals. Sorry.
