PC idiocy. Marmite is a polarizing, love-it-or-hate-it condiment, but has MANY loyal adherents, including me. I go through a 4.4oz jar per month. Marmite is to savory (umami) as sugar is to sweet. It makes for awesome oat groat porridge and sautéed mushrooms. “Unilever has announced it may drop Marmite and Potnoodle from its company, if they don't prove to have a 'meaningful' impact on the world. Chief executive Alan Jope [the Dope], 54, said that the British classics could be axed if they do not 'contribute meaningfully to the world or society'…” A relevant comment by one of the article readers: “Purpose in life?? What on earth is Jope the Dope drivelling on about. What purpose does toast have? Ah yes it’s to put your marmite on.” https://mol.im/a/7291997 Serious about crackers | ||

WTAF?!?! They're food that a great many people enjoy. This isn't "PC idiocy," this is just plain idiocy. Where do they find some of the id10ts running these companies, anyway?

What an idiot! (Unless he’s just dissembling to try to seem PC, then he’s just a pandering waste of oxygen.) The only meaningful impact that any CEO worth the free oxygen he breathes should consider is to the company’s bottom line. If it doesn’t make economic sense it should go, if it does it should stay. If he’s considering dropping the products because they don’t make economic sense but trying to sound woke he’s a flaming liar. If he’s considering dropping the products because of PC reasons he’s a flaming moron. | |||

I think you mean Vegemite! I hate offended people. They come in two flavours - huffy and whiny - and it's hard to know which is worst. The huffy ones are self-important, narcissistic authoritarians in love with the sound of their own booming disapproval, while the whiny, sparrowlike ones are so annoying and sickly and ill-equipped for life on Earth you just want to smack them round the head until they stop crying and grow up. - Charlie Brooker | |||

Is this a childish passive aggressive call for help? If we don't play, is someone going to take their ball and go home? The purpose of a product on the commercial market is to earn the company money. I have no problem with Unilever axing Marmite because sales are declining below commercially viable levels. But don't try to guilt me into buying more because of some 'meaningful' impact tripe. What Uniliver is telling us when they say that, is that our joy as consumers upon consuming their products is not meaningful. If you don't value your customer's satisfaction with your product, don't be surprised if they don't value your bottom line. If that is your attitude, then please do take your ball and go home. | |||

So stupid. I’d hate to have to stockpile a supply of it. Then again, I have little doubt there’s enough demand for it that someone else will buy the brand if it comes to it, that or St. James’ Gate puts out their own version to fill the void. Gotta do something with all that stuff, may as well keep selling it rather than taking it to a landfill. I love Marmite, I always keep some in the pantry. I’d rather treat myself with savory than sweet every time, just my preference. I just got my five year old son to try it and he loves it now, too. He just ate some Ritz crackers with some thinly spread on. I’ll probably make some Marmite mushrooms for us tomorrow. ______________________________________________ “There are plenty of good reasons for fighting, but no good reason ever to hate without reservation, to imagine that God Almighty Himself hates with you, too.” | |||

I don't love it, but I eat some every week as the brewer's yeast tends to help my gastric issues. (Okay, horrific farts, if you must know.) | |||

Interesting. How much do you eat and how often? I started drinking a swig of pickle juice here and there to help with heartburn issues, so this has my interest piqued. ______________________________________________ “There are plenty of good reasons for fighting, but no good reason ever to hate without reservation, to imagine that God Almighty Himself hates with you, too.” | |||

I don’t think so. OTOH, it’ll do in place of Loctite if you’re out of that.  Serious about crackers | |||
