Ketchup used to be tomatoes, vinegar, and a very little sugar. It then was changed into a concoction that is mostly red-dyed high fructose corn syrup. Some brands have improved; you have to read the labels carefully.

I've switched to Salsa. There are quite a few salsa choices that are all vegetable with maybe a very little real sugar, no dyes, inexpensive and tasty.

I don't know if it's that I'm getting older or what, but I've noticed a lot of foods have gotten sweeter over the years. Ketchup, bread, even "unsweetened" breakfast cereal, just to name a few examples.

I make my own ketchup out of my home grown tomatos.
