I'm a ketchup snob. I grew up dipping my fries in Heinz, and used it throughout my adult life until the Kerry-Heinz debacle back in aught-four. I found W right after Dub took his second term. Seemed like an appropriate ketchup for fry dunking.
Over time, Hubby decided it was too pricey for our state of indebtedness, so I switched to Del Monte. At the time, DM was the only brand I could find that didn't incorporate HFCS in their recipe. Sadly, the last bottle of Del Monte ketchup I purchased has HFCS listed in the ingredients.
I don't eat that much ketchup, but my thoughts and opines do not favor HFCS, despite the corn industry's attempts to brain wash us into thinking it's "natural." Happy, happy, joy, joy.
Additionally, while I read labels and try to control the amount of HFCS that comes into the house (pretty tough to do, as it's in pretty much everything), I can't control how much I consume when we eat out. In my pea brain, less at home counteracts the dining out consumption.
Back to W. The original recipe contains, HFCS, but the organic recipe does not. Additonally, by purchasing this particular ketchup, I'm indirectly contributing to a worthy cause. I'm all about worthy causes.
Today the little Fed Ex truck came slipping up my road and brought me my HFCS-free patriotic ketchup. Now, if the new Schwan man can find my house to bring me some onion rings, I'll blow my Weight Watching one more time and have some yummy rings dunked in healthy ketchup.
Now.... I'm going to the treadmill to do some pre-onion ring exercise.

Hey, maybe the healthy ketchup will counteract the onion rings. But then you could count the rings as a veggie, onions are veggies after all. It is hard to find things that don't have HFCS in them.
The onions are OK, it's the hot, crispy, canola-oil-soaked breading that's an issue.
Mr. Schwan was a no-show, anyway (again).
