I can't imagine you put enough ketchup in deviled eggs to notice if it
were omitted... I would be very suspicious of peach hued egg yolk
anyway... and ketchup in tuna salad... BLECH!

Well then, just eat fresh tomatoes (duh), they gotta contain more of
whatever is good and nothing bad. I seriously doubt there is much
tomato benefit from eating ketchup, just a lotta Heinz hype... ketchup
is a condiment, not an entree, not even an appetizer... you need to
rearrange your priorities, seriously. I don't think there is much of
the nutrition people eat tomatoes for in cooked tomatoes.... the fiber
is negated, the Vitamin C is destroyed, and any antioxidants are
seriously degraded... all you got is caramelized sugar and some
salt... cooked to death tomato is essentially junk food.

Right now I have a glut of tomatoes, can't eat them fast enough...
breakfast this morning was a two quart bowl filled with diced fresh
tomatoes, fresh picked parsley, a half a minced onion, juice of one
lime, and lots of fresh ground black pepper... no added salt, no fat,
no chemicals... I was too lazy to go to the garden for a cucumber.
Probably for dinner, with a can of sardines in tomato sauce (man can't
live by fiber alone, gots to have some quality protein).
