This is world news!? Really!?
Vegemite contains 100% dead yeast, you can’t use as a starter for brewing alcohol.
Of course it could be used to promote yeast growth but you could do that with pretty much any food containing sugar.

TIL Brits and Canadians like Marmite.
Can confirm. Have Brit mates that prefer Marmite to, what they call “the inferior copy”, Vegemite. We’re still friends only because I worry they might die next time the temperature hits 30 degrees.
Canadians?
It sparked an international dispute in April last year when an Australian cafe owner in Canada was told to remove jars of the condiment from his shelves as it did not comply with local health regulations.
Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese intervened in the row, saying it was “rather odd” that Canada allowed the sale of Vegemite’s “rubbish” rival product Marmite. The cafe owner was later allowed to continue selling the spread.
I think that still counts as a vote for Australians liking Vegemite…
Just saying I have lived here for over 20 years and the only person I have ever met who likes this thing is a colleague of mine who is British. I know this is completely anecdotal but would be really surprised if this is not the case around Canada
I’m not sure why you felt the need to say this. What I said was:
TIL Brits and Canadians like Marmite.
because I was surprised and the claim Canadians like Marmite… nothing else
/Some/ Brits and Canadians like it. It’s one of those ‘marmite’ products.
