I like mayonnaise more than ketchup but that doesn't mean I don't love ketchup too. I really love ketchup so much. I just don't really add it to my meat some times because I like the taste of meat but if the food isn't very good tasting I always add ketchup. I really love ketchup. If there is ketchup there but I don't add it to my meal because I like the taste of the meal I just get some rice after the meal and mix ketchup with it. Just so I will taste the ketchup. I also do some ketchup gulps. Haha. I get a tablespoon of ketchup, stare at it for a few seconds and eat all of it! All of it!!! My friends thought I was very weird when I drank a tiny bowl of ketchup. Haha! My dad said that when he was young he used to have a giant bottle of ketchup and he would drink it like water! Haha! Do you think it's healthy to gulp ketchup like I do? I mean like, ketchup is healthy but i'm not sure if I'm eating too much.

No Ketchup isn't exactly healthy. I mean if it was made from home, and just pureed tomatoes, a little brown sugar and some vinegar then yeah I guess it'd be healthier. When I was younger I used to lick the bowl clean from the ketchup if I had extra left over. Now Not so much. The acidity of the ketchup isn't healthy for our systems.

Yeah but doesn't ketchup have Lycopene? Lycopene prevents heart attack. Or only the ketchup that I buy have Lycopene? Haha. Have you ever tried having a spoonful of ketchup?

To be honest I don't like ketchup so much. My boyfriend is a big fan and can eat it with everything, even with tomatoes salad. I try to use as less as possible, even in fast food, as I said I am not a big fan. About the mayonnaise my feelings are others. I like it really much, it fits to so many dishes, no only sandwiches. My favorite recipe with it is baked potatoes with mayonnaise. The taste is soo soo delicious

Haha. You two always seem to like different foods, like the meat. Haha. I like mayonnaise with many dishes! Not just sandwiches. I even like mayonnaise with Mongo beans (A dark green soup with green beans). Mayonnaise is good with anything for me. Haha. Back to the ketchup. Have you ever tried plain ketchup?

Well i love taking ketchup only when i am having snacks or with bread. I personally feel weird having ketchup alone as i have not tried it before. But i think you should not gulp down the ketchup all the time, if you feel like having it then prepare some snacks and then have it.

Haha. Try eating just a teaspoon of ketchup alone. It's good too. Haha. I'm not sure if you will like it though. Some members of my family also eat tablespoons of ketchup. And like I said, my dad used to drink it. Haha. So, are you going to try it alone?

I do believe that too much of everything is not good especially for a ketchup. Try controlling your intake and taking it to the minimum.
