<<Ketchup has WAY more sugar -- some has fructose, some sucrose -- to be
concerned about than salt.>>
When and how did catsup become ketchup? My husband still pronounces it
"catsup".
<<It's just a question of timing. I can down a bevvie in 10 seconds. It
takes
me about 5-10 minutes to cut and eat a grapefruit. And dammit if my hands
don't get all sticky -- where are those drawings of that grapefruit glove I
designed>>
Who says it has to be cut? and sticky? I slice my
grapefruit/oranges/tangeloes in half horizontally, use a spoon to dig out all
the fruit AND membrane.
Then squeeze whatever remaining juice into a cup.

<<To me, grape juice tastes NOTHING like grapes. But then again, my sour
concept of grapes is those nice green killer grapes. I love granny smith
apples, and hard nectarines, and the skin of plums. I even eat lemons like
an orange. You get the picture. In short, I don't have a sweet tooth, but I
crave fruit.>>
I didn't know anyone DIDN'T eat the skin of plums. I eat lemons too. The
best grapejuice I've ever had is when we had concord grape vines and we picked
them and put them through some sort of processor my Mom had (this was, like
30 years ago) and juiced them. Pure grape juice w/ no water or anything. To
this day I can taste it. I eat black grapes and concords by the ton.
How come no one has mentioned kiwi? Mango (one of my absolute personal
favourites)? Pomegranates? Unsweetened pure cranberry juice (none of that
cocktail mixed with apple juice or something crap)?
