Episode 201
In 1981 due to cutbacks in the school lunch program, then President Ronald Reagan attempted to have ketchup declared a vegetable. Well, congress went crazy and said no way. Now, for the purpose of replacing vegetables on school lunches I agree with the decision of congress at the time, however I do think ketchup is truly America's vegetable. We put ketchup on everything, eggs, hamburgers, hotdogs, fries, meatloaf, burned food to make it taste good, food we don't like. Hell, if you were starving you could put it on a sneaker! It comes in bottles, plastic containers, little plastic pouches, and you can pump out into a little cup. Ketchup as American as mustered!
