"Marmite got a decent score overall, but tasters weren’t bowled over by it, with more than half finding it too strong in flavour and too thick. Some also found it more difficult to spread compared with the own-label options."
I expect the Aldi and other alternatives are watered-down fake Marmite for woke wimps who want yeast extract spreads to be more "inclusive". This country is toast.
> Germany has tried the "pure" route once before, it did not end well
What are you talking about? It went great, and it ended with them dominating Europe financially and industrially. Ethically it was a disaster of course, but practically observing the aftereffects you have to be kind of impressed. Not many countries get absolutely demolished and then manage to turn that into a win somehow.
Edit: I'm not fond of the Nazis, this is more of an observation.
Let's compare Germany with a made up family who we shall call ... Schmidt.
Fritz Schmidt, the father, is doing more than good, he is one of the best engineers in the world, he is making good money. His house is smaller than he would like but he keeps it tidy and he is generally well respected. His two kids goes to the best schools.
One day something goes wrong with his brain and he goes on a murder spree.
Fritz goes to prison, his house is sold off to pay the victims families and his children are sent to separate orphanages.
Decades later one kid, Hans, have made it despite being reminded of his fathers crimes every day. His orphanage helped him with a good education and a very generous loan so he could start his own factory.
The other kid, Helmut, got a shit education and no loan and is hungry every day. Almost every month he has to beg Hans for money to pay the rent.
Germany's "pure" route did not end well because they attacked others for being pure. Just because a culture has oddities which do not fit with a wider culture, it doesn't mean that the former should be reduced.
(A digression, since you made the point. This isn't a contest between Nazism and a free-for-all. A society can be overly inclusive, of bad behaviors, ideologies, and other objective threats to its common good, in which case such inclusiveness does weaken the country[0]. I think it is fair to say you'd want to exclude Nazism and other aberrations from your country's political order?)
