Default Vegemite under threat

Food tax could see Vegemite off shelves
Thursday, January 08, 2009 » 11:36am

Vegemite is just one everyday foodstuff that may be forced off grocery shelves if a tax is imposed on energy dense foods.

The National Preventative Health Taskforce is expected to recommend the tax, to regulate fat, salt and sugar content in food and drinks.

Guys , Keith is going to need some moral support if this happens .

G'day Alex

no wonder the girls in the video don't like Vegemite...it's spread way toooo thick and not nearly enough butter on the toast (you gotta have lots) Take a look at the photograph. See how the toast has a light smear of Vegemite...yum, yum Nice cuppa tea with a couple of pieces of Vegemited toast...what more could an Aussie man want (for breakfast that is)
