Yes, new ways to get our kids hooked on sugar (with a dab of tomato for effect.) Are you old enough to remember Ronald Reagan wanting to make tomato catsup a vegetable on school lunches?
By the way, Wasabi Mayonaise from Trader Joe's is fab on fresh salmon. Other brands have come out with it, but Trader Joe's is the best. I'm treating my little bottle from the States like baluga caviar. |

I'm both old enough to remember that and young enough to recall that Clinton did the same for "salsa". |

Really- I missed that one. Do you know where I could get that information? I have only liked Clinton in retrospect. From the depths of the current regime, he looks pretty good. |

It really is funny how Reagan got dumped on for proposing something that didn't come to pass, while Clinton didn't get noticed for something similar that did. Why might that be, one wonders.
Anyway, as always, Google is your friend:

Here is a quote from the article you linked. I think that it answers why Reagan caught it and Clinton didn't. Besides, and very important, salsa, especially fresh salsa, is all fresh vegetables and NO SUGAR. It is not processed food, like catsup.
| Quote: |
Salsa's designation as a vegetable comes as part of USDA's push to offer an array of low-fat, nutritious, appealing foods to students, Cooney said Tuesday.
The ketchup-as-vegetable proposal, by contrast, was put forward as a cost-saving option at a time when the Reagan administration was trying to pare $1.5 billion from the school lunch program, he said. The ketchup proposal was "a device to make believe that you could recommend $1 billion in cuts and no one would be harmed," Cooney said. |

No. No added sugar, perhaps.
Even the added sugar in ketchup does not make it significantly less healthy than salsa.

In what way is ketchup considered a processed food and salsa not? I am speaking of commercially prepared foods.
Another point is that both ketchup and salsa are condiments. Calling salsa "vegetable salad" does not make it a suitable replacement for a proper serving of vegetables in a school lunch. |

Yes, fruit flavored mayo is sold in the states. I'm quite sure it's not a Korean invention...If anything, I'd blame it on the french since they love the stuff and spread it on anything (i'm just kidding everyone).

Sure, but isn't that like mustard and mayo mixed up or garlic mayonnaise or something like that? That sounds OK, and even good...but FRUIT???? I am also violently opposed to purple and green ketchup. The flavored cream cheese makes sense to me, not fruit flavored mayo, though. |

| At my public school in the US, when you get salsa, it is in a plastic cup smaller than the size of a cup for something containing that which counts as a side of fruit or vegetables. It is "fresh" salsa, and quite nutritious, but not in a large enough quantity to be a vegetable. Thank goodness you can get it with baked potatoes as well as fajitas! |
