Vegemite has all the other B vitamins but not B12. Some of the other mite spreads e.g. Mightymite, Sanitarium Marmite contain B12 but aren't as delicious imo. They're a decent additional source of B12 but the amount in a serving size isn't enough to meet B12 needs alone so I'd rather just eat...

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe BV means Moorabbin Airport...

The reason nutritional yeast is popular with vegans as that it's usually fortified with B12, a nutrient very difficult for vegans to obtain. B12 can only be obtained naturally from animal products, so make sure you're either eating enough food fortified with B12 (many soy products are, for...

It is! I didn't have high expectations but the first two episodes are pretty decent.

Though I may be designating myself an e-pariah, I have to agree with Bob. Patronising champagne-flute-waving arsty farsty exploitation. You might as well be talking about studying chimpanzees in their native environment. 'There's something so dignified about them. A certain understated poise...

God I love Australia.

We're going on a Panama Canal cruise in a couple of months, from LA to Miami, then driving across the US back to LA. There's one thing I'm not entirely clear on and maybe SSers can help me. Will we need visas for every country we port (e.g. Mexico, Jamaica, Columbia)? I don't think we...

Thank you, Jamie, I never thought of Googling. Oh wait, I did, except none of the sites I looked at had prices and I don't really feel like paying $100-150 if I can pay $50.

I have an antique necklace I need appraised and I'm seeking recommendations for a decent and cheap jewellery valuer in Melbourne CBD. I'm hoping to pay around $50. Thanks in advance!

That's not technically true. Under our criminal justice system, when sentencing, the judge is supposed to take several factors into consideration including incapacitation, deterrence, rehabilitation, retribution and restoration. A jail sentence focusing solely on punishment will not...

I would rather not live in a litigious society where we sue each other over every miniscule misunderstanding and hurt feeling. If your girlfriend was genuinely traumatised by the incident, she is likely mentally unstable. Complain to Coles about the security guard, but don't start a...

I can't believe I'm wasting my precious 1000th post on saying this, but why does the world suddenly care about Russell Brands take of various world events? I don't understand it. Funny guy, but an effing halfwit.

I tolerate people who find fault with benign threads on forums.

It reads like bad fiction, obviously BS. Even if his story were true, I don't find it particularly sad. A 46 year bemoaning that he never finished his novel or traveled the world to help homeless people? He sounds like a typical narcissistic 20 year old on Facebook. Judging by the...

You are making the rather egocentric assumption that everyone wants prostitution rates to go down because prostitution is inherently bad. I have no problem with sexual transactions involving money and have no desire to criminalise such transactions. I am not going to argue the pros and...

Why do we 'need' to make it illegal to purchase 'sexual services' in Australia? Australia has some of the most permissive prostitution laws in the world and I don't really see it being a problem. You can want to criminalise the purchase of scarlet ladies' services 'til the cows come home...

Over the past 15 years, I've been a vegetarian, a vegan and a pescatarian. I've also lapsed a few times and have partaken in mammal/bird, but I can count on my hands how many times I've eaten meat since I was 16 (now 31). Given all of that, I can't see the difference between eating a dog...

*offers more encouragement* Great photos, Geoff :)

Driving Miss Daisy's title character.

My husband works in IT. He's at a company where his position is relatively safe, though they're currently in the process of offshoring many other IT positions. He'd like to get a job closer to home (spends hours travelling everyday). He hasn't been able to get a closer job and even if he...
