Victoria court upholds Vegemite ban in prisons
Original: Victoria court upholds Vegemite ban in prisons — The Guardian
A court in Victoria, Australia, has upheld a ban on Vegemite in the state's prisons, according to The Guardian. The yeast spread, a national staple, can be used to brew alcohol in custody, which authorities cite as justification for the restriction. The ruling keeps the unusual ban in place, drawing attention and debate both in Australia and abroad.
Why now: The quirky collision of a beloved national food icon with prison alcohol-brewing rules makes the ruling widely shared.
