People like vegemite because it tastes good, I love vegemite and I live in Australia, it is also the fact that many children are brought up on vegemite so people get used to t … he taste. Vegemite is also healthy aswell and has a very unique taste, very salty however.3 people found this useful.s my interests are far and wide. It is good source of Vitamin B: however, it contains far too much salt to be considered a healthy food by today's standards. Vegemite was, and still is, promoted as a healthy spread for growing children.
