PENNI LEAPS INTO THE RING SCREAMING "MY TURN! MY TURN!" AND BRANDISHING A CHEAP BOTTLE OF ALBERTSON'S GENERIC CATSUP. Mr. Contreras is full of catsup. My cheap brand catsup has 3 g. of sugar, 5 carbos and 180 mg of sodium. IT's made of tomato paste and water, corn syrup, vinegar and salt. Interestingly, though, Christine, it has no preservatives, so you may not need to buy organic in this case? Let's see, I have some On the Border salsa here. It has tomatoes, water, japenos, onions, uhoh sugar!!!!! salt spices---hmm-only 2g of sugar, 3 carbos, aha! 1 g. protein, and more sodium. Well, that sure was a toss-up. MY personal salsa has no sugar. Fascinating.

Sophistry. Anyone associated with the Center for Science in the Public Interest, the Washington-based group, is a left wing ideologue and will back the Clintons. Heck, the whole point of the article is to highlight how the media responds when a Dem admin does the same thing as a Rep one did. The difference was predictable and astounding. Do you actually think the leftists will admit their flagrant hypocrisy and admit that salsa is a condiment? Additionally, the salsa is not fresh as you repeatedly imply and comparing bottles you will find that despite what the Clinton admin and its allies say, there is little nutritional difference. ''Ketchup is really mostly sugar and vinegar,'' said one Agriculture Department official, speaking on condition of anonymity. ''This is not the same because ... (salsa) is essentially a vegetable salad.'' What a lie. Remember Heinz says there are 18 tomatoes in its bottle. I'll bet there are actually far fewer vegs in salsa since it's not as concentrated. And you also omit the fact the Clinton admin regards ONE OUNCE of salsa as a serving. Since when is ONE OUNCE a salad? One ounce is a condiment NOT a salad as that liar contends and wants the gullible to believe. No wonder he/she/it wants to be anonymous, only an unthinking nitwit would agree with that statement. That's the facts. Contreras is correct, correct, CORRECT.
