Anyway, this debacle was raised in the UK in the late 1980s when a similar reform of 
school dinners was proposed. And the British government was quick to make a 
statement that they would not make the same mistake - tomato sauce, mustard, and 
similar substances were not to be classified as foods for any nutritional purpose. So 
Ketchup isn't a food there either.

                       "Almighty Ruler of the all;
                 Whose power extends to great and small;
                 Who guides the stars with steadfast law;
                   Whose least creation fills with awe;
                     Oh grant thy mercy and thy grace;
                     To those who venture into space."
