I'm the same as you - I eat what I like, and I exercise. Infact I almost have to stuff myself with carbs sometimes to refuel....
Which end?

My 10 year old has ketchup with all of his meals and it does niggle at me when ive good a meal and its covered in its own sauce and he reaches for the ketchup. He wont even try food with out it though. My youngest does the same with BBQ sauce and the eldest will at least try it with out sauce says its nice but then asks for ketchup.

My parents and in laws always use salt on everything. In fact my mil adds so much salt to food while she is cooking i have to add sauce to it just to be able to eat it, more so if it is tatties and mash, as its so salty.
In restaurants i would not dream of asking for ketchup maybe black pepper.

BBQ sauce is the worst - it's 50% sugar! Might as well just sprinkle it on!

I have a friend whose whole family utterly cover every meal with it, I mean literally swimming in the stuff! -That naffed me off when they stayed at mine for a week and every meal I cooked was crucufied-even the salad! funnily enough they are always complaining of tongue blisters, I wonder why....
If you want a bit of sauce to enhance your food- fine! but just have a dollop on the side of your plate! there are limits and no, I cant bear to see the Ozzies lift the lid on thier 'pies' and slather the ketchup on top- yuk but I just let them get on with it

I watched a tv programme not long ago about the sugar in sauces and they showed this one young girl, about 5 as I recall who had had almost all her baby teeth filled or removed due to the 1 bottle of ketchup she consumed every week.

But that's the whole point . . . you (we?) shouldn't just let them 'get on with it' as you say. We need to do something and do it now before things go any further . . . I don't know, form a comittee or possibly even a society . . . the Temperance Society springs to mind as a model . . . if we all work together we can stop this condiment abuse before it affects us all . . . . My god won't someone think of the CHILDREN!!

i totally agree i find all the sauces too sweet, but im up against it with boys i would rather them eat their meals than waste them so usually let them have sauce.

It did really wind me up when my ex would empty the sauce bottle on top of absolutely anything! I know other members of the force too. A friend wad telling me how he made Arancini and bought some really pricey cheese for em and his OH just covered them in Tommy K...or sugar solution as I call it!
I know someone who used to put ginger ale in single malt. This requires the Food Gestapo never mind the Food Police.

I know someone who (as a child) wanted to put ketchup on her Christmas dinner and upon refusal a war broke out that ended in a dinner being hurled at the wall. Not sure whose dinner went a-flying.

Quite! I have watched someone stir sugar into wine to make it sweeter, as well.
