Is the answer more Marmite?

Damn, I should really see if I can get my hands on one of the those. Wanna try. 

It's from a semi-famous example of lateral thinking from about 15 years ago.

"The logic, briefly, is this. A lack of zinc makes men irritable and belligerent. You get zinc in yeast, which is fine for your average lover of Mother's Pride^[*]. But in the Middle East, the bread is unleavened. Ergo, the great man says, Marmite is the answer to easing the way to peace."

* Mother's Pride is/was a brand of sliced bread here in the UK.
