Duncan, I think perhaps you have eaten too many beef chubs to be very sensitive to the incredible nutritional differences between mere catsup and wonderfully nutritious salsa, a health food of the highest order. Why just yesterday for Sunday breakfast, I sauteed a finely chopped onion with several corn tortillas cut in thin strips. Then I added lightly beaten eggs and a quarter cup of salsa, and cooked the mixture until the eggs were scrambled. Then I topped each serving with a dollop of sour cream, another spoonful of salsa, and chopped green onions. I served this wonderful concoction with fat free refried beans and a fruit salad of watermelon, cantaloupe, bananas and oranges. Can you imagine the difference it would have made had I used lowly catsup instead? Incidentally, you big silly red meat eater, Costco has recalled its frozen beef patties because they may be contaminated by e coli. Do you have any in your freezer? Be sure to take them back to any Costco before you get sick, okay?

CHRISTINE AND PENNI DO TAG NUTRITIONAL WRESTLING..... Duncan, I make my own salsa. We eat tons of it. It's easy and extremely healthy. Has nothing but tomatoes, peppers, onion, garlic, spices, and a jalapeno in it. When the choice is having the kids eat something junky and ignoring vegetables altogether, I would rather they load a tortilla with cheese and salsa anyday. Even if they use chips--they know they're expected to eat huge mounds of salsa on them; so surely this is better than getting a bag of chips from a machine because the school lunch offers spinach. True story. In the Blue Ridge Mountains where I grew up, schools frequently had collard greens or kale on the menu. This is a poor relative of spinach. It's served drowned in vinegar, a soggy, overcooked and stinky, stringy mass of goo. I had never tasted this strange stuff before-my father being English- my mother from Conn.- but the smell was enough to make my stomach roil. Our fifth grade teacher for some reason decided that we had to clean out trays, regardless of personal preferences. (Children were starving in India.)Every day it appeared on my tray, I carefully stuffed the gooky glump into my milk carton until one day when the teacher snuck up behind me and caught me in the act. She made me eat it out of my milk carton!!!! All of it. It was child abuse at its most embarrassing and cruel. I gagged and choked, but since I have a stomach of steel, I at least did not throw up in my tray. All my mother said was, "It was probably good for you." She had obviously never eaten kale.
