What has your country done? I mean the U.S. has lots of strange rules and things but this is downright ridiculous (you can carry a gun, but not a jar of Vegemite). How's that for irony? I fear for the sanity of your homeland.(lol)

Ditto as to having never heard of the stuff...

It's a bread spreading and an Australian icon.

Well...I wouldn't worry about the country going insane...as it's already happened...

Whatever Ark.
The 1st one is no longer true. The second is just common sense. The third one I've never seen someone get in trouble for. The fourth: Sadly we have lots of Tarot and Psychic Readers in Australia (and lots of Psychic Festivals). I've never heard of the fifth one so I can't comment.
This is over a freakin' spreading though!

He wasn't bashing us. Just laughing at the absurdity of it. And quite frankly, I think it's stupid, too.

I wasn't bashing you Ark. Please calm down. I know everywhere there are dumb laws.

Check my edited post. And this...
I consider sarcastic and bashing. Thus, I simply am showing the irony of making fun of American laws...when its so easy to find crazy Aussy laws. My opinion? Every nation has some weird laws.
Bitter? I am not bitter at all. This is just the second post of yours ive seen in a few days whining about America. (the mp3 site being the other post)

This reeks of a hoax... I don't think it is banned in the US... There was little to no info given on that site about it... Really...
I'm nearly certain Vegemite, as well as Milo and Nutella, can be found in world markets and certain stores like WinCo.

Not really banned, but highly regulated. If you read the comments below the article, it linked to the FDA's official website, here is the link about folate that was provided:

I get images of Vegemite soaring magestically over its kill... A poor, unsuspecting slice of bread and a child dead from... bad taste.

Nations are what they eat.
Australia is Vegemite.
The US is BigMacs.
South Africa its biltong.
In Scotland its Haggis.
When you buy these things in excess, all real, meaningful national icons are thrown out the window.
Edit: the only countries that can get away with having food for national icons is Switzerland and Belgium.
