Obama wasn’t first, nor will he be the last, to hate on Vegemite. Kevin Rudd, Australia’s foreign minister, tweets that American authorities tried to confiscate his supply of Vegemite at a New York airport, “Only problem traveling to NY is that they tried to confiscate our Vegemite at the airport … Needed foreign ministerial intervention … Airport staff were surprised when I said it is good for you & I ate it for breakfast. They then waved me through.” [Kevin Rudd/Twitter]
