Marmite, the gooey, pitch-like yeast extract that Brits have been slathering on their toast since 1902 has been booted off the kids menu by a Welsh county council.
The Ceredigion Council in Mid Wales operates 51 "breakfast clubs" for needy school kids aimed at improving their health and their academic performance. Marmite got the boot because - too much salt.
Next thing you know they'll be taking away the kids' smokes.

LOL!
Love Marmite. Have it on toast, too, on occasion. Yummy!
You got it. Me too. I got hooked on the stuff when I lived in London (from 69/70). The girls in the flat upstairs would slather the stuff on a slice of toast with their evening cup of tea - a great snack after a night in the pub.
I grew up on Marmite. Immigrated to Canada, from England, when I was a kid. My parents continued buying & spreading it & still do to this day. And I, of course, have continued the tradition. ;)
Ever notice how hard getting the lid off can be once it's been in the fridge?
lol...I keep it on the kitchen counter even when opened. It's STILL hard to open when left there. Like stuck forever with crazy glue.
