Seriously now, wouldn't there time be better spent looking for illegal drugs and terrorists?

Dave,

I still have a jar of Vegemite, that Peter bestowed upon me at this year's Beach Party.

I just haven't determined what special occasion I'll use it for. :-)

The FDA lets all kinds of presertatives, pesticides etc in our food, and they are pickey about a natural substance that people eat??? in Austrailia???
Geeez, maybe people ought to mind their own business and take care of important things.

Barbara,

It's not the American way. :S 

By the way, the FDA doesn't test food and drugs. They rely on the manufacturer's testing, to draw their conclusions, as to the safety of their use.

I think referring to Vegemite as "food" is a bit of a stretch. :P
