I'll have you know I'd be dead if vegemite did not exist.

You could switch to fairy bread. About as nutritious and wouldn't taste like chunky soy sauce marmalade

About as nutritious

Vegemite is actually decently healthy Hence why I eat so much, i would not if it wasn't.

I am surprised that more people aren’t reptile nerds as birds are reptiles.

I'm done picking on vegemite. I know it's a national treasure much like landcruisers and Uluru. I just can't stand it.

But legitimately

The maker's claim​

The B vitamins (thiamin B1, riboflavin B2, niacin B3 and folate) in Vegemite provide vitality to help get your day started. Thiamin is essential for brain function, Riboflavin supports your nervous system, Niacin is essential for energy release and Folate helps to fight fatigue.

The dietitian's verdict​

You scrape it on your toast or cheese sandwich for a like-nothing-else flavour, but are happy little Vegemites really happy on the inside, especially given the saltiness of the spread?
Absolutely, says Feren.
"Yes Vegemite is a source of salt, but when you eat the recommended serving size, which is about a teaspoon, you're only getting about 165mg," he says.
"To put that into context, the suggested dietary target for sodium is 2000-2300mg — so when you put Vegemite in context, it's a drop in the ocean."
Feren likes Vegemite because it's a way to encourage people to eat wholegrains.
"If you want a scraping on your toast in the morning, it's absolutely fine to do so," he says.
"You can make it even more nutritious by adding a slice of cheese so you are adding some extra protein and calcium."
Even though you only have a small quantity of Vegemite, Feren says you actually get a decent hit of vitamins.
"You're getting about 60 percent of your nutritional requirements of vitamin B, 25 percent of riboflavin, which is vitamin B2 and the same for niacin, which is vitamin B3," he says.
"B vitamins are involved in the chemical reactions of metabolism, so they help break down fats and carbohydrates so the body is better able to use those things as an energy source."

It does not compare to Fairybread that everyone is well aware is not healthy

Also how did this turn into a debate about Vegemite and fairy bread (aka the worst things to ever come from Australia)?

Cause it's a nerd thread. I'm the resident nerd for both things
