    There are 30+ ketchup choices at my grocery store. Even Heinz has a natural/organic option without all of the shit in it. And a salt free version, and a honey instead of sugar version, etc... So that meme is a little wonky. If people are still buying the sugary version, it is because they want to. We have plenty of options here.

    I do not consume ketchup...but if I were it would be French's.  French's mustard is the best.

    Yellow mustard sucks.  Now I have my sister mail me Bertman's classic Cleveland Stadium Mustard a few times a year, but I think I'm an outlier there.  Heinz is the best ketchup.  I think I can safely speak for the world and say everyone thinks this but you.  I have a special gift that way.  One other person I know of shares a similar gift of infallible knowledge.  You might know him.

    If we're veering into food, the US wins this one hands down.

    What do you mean? Why? Just because of the insane number of products? Or do you think American cuisine is the best in the world?

    Nothing to do with food quality, which is what I'm certain Meltdown was referring to.

    So, that picture still says something. Even if you can pick whatever. We also have different versions, including completely sugar free options. Doesn't take away from the point of the picture - you little corn syrup loving rascals leading the obesity league.

    I agree. But I rather have the one without corn syrup and shit in it. 

    But nowadays I barely eat ketchup, and if I do I have the one (sadly not Heinz) without any sugar or sweetener added whatsoever in my refrigerator. It tastes great too, more tomato:y - and without any sugar or other shit.

    Yes, that picture says that they took an exceptionally limited view of the food options we have in this country and used their biased editorial opinion to select one of hundreds of options to use in a meme to produce some sort of emotion or reaction, whether that be acceptance and bias confirmation from you, or an argument from me. So job well done on the meme, which provides no useful information.

    It is still the same product offered from two different countries, and shows a huge difference. Obviously it says something. Whatever other options you do have. Like every country has options. 

    Obesity league extraordinaire.

    Okey, if you do not care about how your farm animals are treated... then by all means. Don't count it. 

    "I rather eat things grown organically and from canada, but I don't care how the animals are treated that I eat" <-- is that the case?
