Duncan, I would think salsa has a lot more nutritional value than catsup does, and more healthful fiber, as well. The bottle I am looking at right now contains fresh tomatoes, tomato puree, green chiles, fresh onions, fresh jalapeno peppers, salt, garlic, distilled vinegar, and spices. Notice how fresh everything is, and cute big chunks of it too!!
The catsup label I am reading contains tomato puree, cane sugar, white wine vinegar, sea salt, onion powder, garlic powder and spices. Since the catsup is organic (Muir Glen), I will not accept the argument that I own inferior catsup pablum or anything, somehow deficient compared to hearty Reagan administration school lunch program catsup. Suffice to say, I would much prefer that my child consume a variety of fresh chopped vegetables than sugary tomato puree.
Did you know that tortilla chips have been more popular than potato chips for the last several years in America, and that salsa is very popular almost everywhere? Did you know that the Latino birth rate in California is more than double the white birth rate? It was really mean and cruel for us to take California from Mexico, so I am happy that with long-term demographic trends, it is being taken back, in a way, by nice Native Americans.
