more food

Today I learned that Vegemite is banned in the US because the FDA thinks it has too much folic acid in it. It says here that when they set the upper limit, they thought that too much folic acid could mask anemia from a vitamin B12 deficiency, which is reversible, while spina bifida is not.

In other news, a bus trap is a bunch of bars over a pit spaced so bus tires can go over, but car tires fall between. Technically I guess that's a car trap. Anyway, I think they use these things in Canada to make bus-only areas or shortcuts, and I can't find a picture (or confirmation) anywhere.

Also sugar is twice as dense as flour. This is important if you want to make a pound cake without a scale and cheat horrifically on your rotation diet.
