Thank you Andrew for restoring my confidence. I happen to be a vegetarian,
but I remain unconverted by this or any other discussion (remember the
Olympic side story on Vegemite). My mom used to give us Brewer's yeast,
and it is good on popcorn, but I get queasy at the thought of eating, or
the sight of someone else eating this stuff.

Thank goodness - I'm agnostic on this one - I have no faith that either
product is actually edible.
