Talk:Ketchup

The "ketchup is a vegetable" factoid is documented, but isn't it really an underhanded way of reminding people of a criticism that was made of Reagan? So in one sense it's just a fact, but in another sense it's real purpose here seems to be some veiled criticism without any counter-balancing of that criticism. Read the link cited, and you'll see things like "antiregulatory zealot" and " unsuccessful effort by the right to pursue its agenda at the expense of the nation's kids". I didn't change it because I wasn't sure if the mere fact that a link was attached meant that it had to be allowed. Certainly a more balanced link could be found.

I actually added the link having only added the last sentence of the article. (I didn't write this.) I didn't seek to find a link with an ideological agenda, I just put a link up for the sake of documenting sources. MountainDew 23:05, 9 March 2007 (EST)

It's hard to find a more balanced link!! But I found one and edited that part, leaving the previous link as an example of how this minor incident was politicized and became widely repeated. Does that work? Bwilliston 02:35, 10 March 2007 (EST)
