    I didn't like the taste of most ketchup, either too sweet or too salty, but then found Sir Kensington brand. Tastes like homemade and only has a few ingredients with no HFCS. Pricy but worth it for us as little as we use it.

    i love ketchup, although it does have sugar and extra calories, usually i am putting it on something that is high caloric anyway so it doesn't matter. :smile:

    Love the stuff. Just don't use it as a "Sketti" sauce.

    I love me some ketchup. I have to weigh mine for sure though because I'm a ketchup monster. I only really eat it with burgers and fries now though.

    I don't care for ketchup but it isn't bad for you in reasonable quatities that fit your calorie goal.

    Ketchup is disgusting. Sriracha on burgers is much better.

    I ate it when I was 5 years old

    it's a great way to ruin anything involving meat by making it taste like a jar of sugar mixed with some tomato juice

    and if you put it on steak then you deserve to have that steak forcefully removed from your possession

    Good stuff but all in moderation

    I try to substitute diced tomatoes instead

    Since I don't eat fries much anymore, I only use ketchup to make cocktail sauce for seafood. Some Simply Heinz and a ton of horseradish! I make an individual portion at a time, and weigh them on my food scale.

    Sadly, Chik-fil-a waffle fries scoop up too much ketchup and the flavor just overwhelms. I have to do a little trick to make it palatable, but most people would think it disgusting.

    It is just a condiment like any other. I use it on fries and other things.

    I think it's acceptable if the steak is well done anyway.

    The whole thing is pretty tragic, though.

    Edit: oh, I see that point was already made. Oh, well.

    I love ketchup. I grew up eating it on everything. Yes, ketchup has some calories on its own. But for me, the real problem with the stuff is that it makes me eat more of the things that do real damage. Like fries. And burgers. Fries for me are ketchup delivery devices. Cut out the ketchup, the appeal of these things goes down and I eat them less.
