Attack of the Killer Tomatoes Should Have Been About Ketchup

When I was in Kindergarten I lived in Virginia, and my best friend's name was Amy Nicole Betor. Amy had an older brother named Todd, who loved ketchup. He loved ketchup so much he went through about a bottle a week. One time when I was at Amy's house her mom was teasing Todd about how much he liked ketchup, and in order to defend himself, he boldly stated that he would eat anything with ketchup on it. I still remember the twinkle in Mrs. Betor's eye when she said, "Anything?"
Todd's reply was short but, firm, "Yes, anything."
So Todd's mom decided to put him to the test and she went out in the yard, dug up some worms from her garden and generously covered them in ketchup. Then she handed Todd a fork and said, "Prove it."
Well I am still amazed to this day that Todd ate those worms and he didn't even think twice about it - that is disgusting!
But there are too many people in this world like Todd; people who aren't necessarily so extreme that they will eat worms if they are doused in Heinz tomato sauce, but there is a considerably large faction of people who ruin otherwise scrumptious foods by drowning them in that oh so familiar red sauce.
For example, In Brazil for some reason they skip on the tomato sauce on pizza - it is basically cheese baked onto bread - but instead of using marinara sauce to remedy this mistake, they opt to put ketchup on top of their pizza, above the cheese! I'm sorry, but that's just not right.
Next, my husband likes bacon. So from time to time I make him a BLT with mayonnaise. But without fail, after I serve him his sandwich, he heads to the fridge and proceeds to destroy a perfectly scrumptious meal by pouring ketchup on it.
And then there's my sister who loves to eat exorbitant amounts of ketchup on hamburgers and other meals, but doesn't like tomatoes by themselves or in salad, etc. This could stem from an inexplicable fear of tomatoes resulting from watching "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes", but one can never be 100% sure.
This is unacceptable, ketchup is fine in some circumstances, but when it leads you to ruin otherwise delicious meals or eat worms, I think it's just gone too far. It's amazing how only a mixture of tomato concentrate, distilled vinegar, high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, salt, spice, onion powder, and natural flavoring* can have such a powerful influence on people's life, or at least on their eating habits.
