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.
