    I grew up with Vegemite, but now buy Marmite as it is more patriotic (NZ made). Whatever brand, we like it thick with lots of folate.

    I mean - Marmite has the same amount of folate as vegemite. A couple of smears would give you the same 'dose' (Katherine Rich's term) as several slices of those folate-poisoned bread slices.

    Steve- Marmite is the same as vegemite. This is what slightly irritates me about this whole controversy. We have been encouraged to eat Vegemite and Marmite for ever because of the B vitamins they contain, including Folate (B9). Yet in bread it suddenly becomes evil.

    The most dangerous thing about Marmite is probably the caramel additive it contains.

    Russell, aparently, has a "Bread Awesomizer" thus allowing him to add his own Folate from a jar.

    Marmite?

    Put Marmite on the bread and get a double dose.
    So does Marmite (or vegemite) cause prostate cancer too?

    It's wonderful that it has been made but personally I couldn't bear to go to The Cove and see and hear all the dolphin murders.

    Tales from film festivals? I'm not sure about the criteria for selection for documentaries, but a very good local documentary that was turned down by the Film Festival screened to an appreciative full house at the Paramount on Saturday.

    'A place to stay' is a social/architectural/design history of community in NZ based on Salisbury Garden Court in Wadestown, Wellington. This cluster of 16 houses around a tennis court on a hillside was built by one man in the 1920s. It is still reached by a long steep path up from the road. Over time the community's inhabitants changed including the adult Polish war refugee children in the 1950s, and 'hippies' in the 1970s.

    Will be shown again at the Film Archive in 14 August at 12.15 and the Onslow Historical Society on 17 September, and a DVD is also available.

    (Disclaimer: was made by my friend Marie Russell, and I had a teeny contribution)
