Australian prisoner loses court bid to eat Vegemite
Original: vegemite
An Australian court has rejected a convicted murderer's attempt to overturn a prison ban on Vegemite, ruling that access to the iconic spread is not a human right. Reports from the New York Times and the Guardian have drawn attention to the unusual case, with many finding the idea of a legal battle over the yeast-based spread both absurd and genuinely revealing about prisoners' rights.
Why now: The novelty of a court ruling that there is no human right to Vegemite has made the story a talking point internationally.
