Outraged at US vegemite ban

The US have gone too far this time. I have put up with unnecessary wars and obnoxious Americans (not all of them, obviously, but many...) and the dreadful movies and music they're producing. But they've banned vegemite. WTF???

I mean the upside is it's more vegemite for us, but it's the principle!

Why ban vegemite? Apparently because it has folic acid in it. (see http://au.news.yahoo.com/061022/23/110ep.html for information).

I kinda thought that folic acid was in the B vitamin family and hence, good for you, especially pregnant women. Wikipedia seems to support this view (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folic_acid).

Are the US pursuing a 'less vitamins, more hotdogs' health policy? [it wouldn't be the least logical of their policies]
