Description

Anita shares the story of why she’s hated Vegemite for years, and Amanda, determined to give Vegemite a fair go, puts her to the test with a proper Aussie-style tasting: warm sourdough, butter, and a thin smear. From there, we talk about the surprising PR campaign that launched kale into superfood status, the long-standing spinach myth caused by a decimal point error, and how margarine, eggs, and even the concept of breakfast have all been caught up in decades of health confusion and marketing spin. And yes, we're sorry to say that cockroach milk makes an appearance too.
