There's no accounting for taste

THE US has banned Vegemite, even to the point of searching Australians for jars of the spread when they enter the country.
The bizarre crackdown was prompted because Vegemite has been deemed illegal under US food laws.
The great Aussie ic ...[text shortened]... aid.

Banned because it contains folic acid (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folic_acid)?
Crazy isnt it? Banning wholesome food.

Not because it contained anything they didn't like, but because the manufacturers wouldn't divulge their 'secret' ingredients.

All over the US, there are hangovers going untreated now.
!!! Unbelieveable! I manage to get it here, although at considerable expense....

That stuff taste so bad it is dangerous. I can't begin to tell you the gag reflex it inflicted upon me. Why would they make folic acid taste so bad?
