Aussie Icon Anniversaries

Just last week I posted about the Aussie icon, Vegemite, reaching a 100-year anniversary, by whatever bumpy and often-offshore means. Now another icon has passed a milestone, but sadly it's not exactly what you might think...

It's Not Vegemite

So Vegemite was an Australian invention. It was modelled around some similar products but as far as I know it was Ausie. It was divisive, you either loved it or loathed it. And we lost it to overseas interests, then got it back.

Sara Lee

Now Sara Lee is undergoing a shake-up. After more than fifty years, Sara Lee is in liquidation. Fair enough, Sara's not a true Aussie but the desserts company became part of the Australian food chain in 1971 when the first Sara Lee facility opened in NSW. 

Now we have the sad news that the Australian arm, Sara Lee Holdings, has entered voluntary administration. Given the evil, greed-driven, and depressing state of the world's "economies," it seems almost like some kind of end-of-the-desserts-world knell of doom. 

Aussies need a much more fair go than we're getting. The planet needs much more of a fair go than it's getting. Please share my articles to raise awareness of these sorts of stories.
