  We show how the effective action of the Extended Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model
(ENJL) can be defined in the presence of anomalies in a way that reproduces the
flavour anomaly. This necessarily breaks Vector Meson Dominance (VMD) in the
usual sense. The same method can be used to construct other chiral effective
theories involving constituent quarks and spin-1 mesons that give the correct
flavour anomaly. We also comment on how standard VMD is the root of this
problem and those observed by previous authors in implementing VMD in the
anomalous sector.
