Slow Website

I am just checking to see if anyone has been having issues with timely access to my website? I have noticed my performance become worse and worse over the last month and a half and am essentially fed up with performance of my host's server >:(, thus am contemplating switching hosts if anyone else is experiencing a slow connection. Please post comments to let me know.

Update: My site appears to work relatively well late at night (1-2 am Arizona time), which leads me to think that another site on the server that my site is on is particularly resource intensive. I do not think my site is due to my site statistics :-/. This item of note will be brought up with startlogic soon since my current contract with them is due around January.

Vegemite Banned?

Vegemite

I recently found a bizarre news story on how the United States has banned Vegemite (as pictured to the right). This is an absolutely strange story in which I am utterly confused why it was banned. According to the article, the United States has a ban on adding folate (folic acid) to all products except for breads and cereals. Evidently Vegemite has folate and thus cannot be bought. However, I have read reports of people buying it in the US this year, so I am fairly concerned about the legitimacy of the article. Thus in order to try to clarify this strange story, I emailed the Department of Agriculture on the ban this evening. I will keep everyone posted on what I find. I am also going to check out some stores around Tucson to see if I can find Vegemite (there is a large Australian population in Tucson). While it does not seem very appetizing, I am more concerned about the United States strange rulings and bureaucracy. For having no signs of negative health benefits (and plenty of good ones), I am concerned when the United States makes limits on individuals' choices, though this could merely be a hoax in which I which case I will be thoroughly embarrassed.

Regardless of the outcome, I have my doubts that I will become an activist on this subject, though I suppose stranger things have happened.
