Although I'm not the biggest advocate for vegemite, there are benefits to eating it, such as the boost to vitamin B in the system which is why it's a product eaten for breakfast and given to children.

As to it being taken off the market in the US, that's nothing more than politics thanks to the cereal and grain growers association, seeing as in the US they're the only group allowed to add folate to their products.

I'd lay money on vegemite being available in the US again before too long...minus the folate.
