I for one, haven't had vegemite in ages, and dad told me to go have some vegemite and chill earlier (I was panicking over something haha).

I mean Vegemite was always known for having Vitamin B in it..

But would vegemite alone REALLY improve one's mood? There are a tonne of other factors to consider...not sure if this is legit...not sure if the news just didn't have an article to publish/report today xd

Frankly, I think it's just a bunch of BS pseudo science that isn't done properly or understood , xD.

There also may be a tinge of bias cause its commercially funded :P.

I've never had Vegemite.

Is this the source of all my woes?

Probably! Kate solved mine this morning in a similarly simply way: my woes exist because I don't own any hoodies.

But yeah, it's clickbait bullshit. Eating nutritious food and exercising and mindfulness are all really established methods of improving mood, and are likely to have a far larger effect.  It can be pretty overwhelming seeing heaps and heaps of things supposed to improve mood that you "should" be doing, so adding so minor issues to people's shoulds list isn't really fair imo.
