This Week’s Truthful Tuesday: I’ve Solved World Peace
It’s human nature to judge one another. As human beings, we consistently compare and compete against each other for approval. No matter how much the concept of being nonjudgemental is preached, humanity will continue to judge one’s beliefs and actions. The degree to which we judge is on a vast spectrum and some of us are much more forthright about our judgements than others. It is my personal understanding that the sooner the global population can accept the fact that everyone is being judged, the sooner we will be able to move on from those judgements.
I would like to admit that I am guilty of imposing my judgmental feelings equally as often as I am on the receiving end of judgement in regards to the use of ketchup. I love ketchup and use it in a wide array of food related contexts. In my opinion, ketchup is the perfect partner for any number of foods. Ketchup not only adds flavor to your meal, but also moisture and can assist in the chewing process. I find that it is much easier to swallow a dry piece of meat with ketchup on it than without. Perhaps there is a chemical reaction and the ketchup compound helps to breakdown the meat while you are chewing? I don’t know. I just made that up. But it does help!
Some of you may be wondering, “to what extent is her ketchup use?” I will provide you with a list of some foods that I enjoy eating ketchup with in order to satisfy your query.
Ketchup with French Fries
Ketchup with Meat
Ketchup with Eggs
Ketchup with Pasta
Ketchup with Baked Potatoes
Ketchup with Onion Rings
Ketchup with Bacon
Ketchup with Cooked Vegetables
Ketchup with Turkey
Ketchup with Cheese on a Bagel (like a Pizza Bagel)
If at any point while reading this list you thought, “gross,” or “ew,” or “disgusting,” or made “raised-one-eyebrow-face,” let it be known that you are judging my love for ketchup! But it’s okay, I forgive you. Because I’m judging you for not liking ketchup as much as me! I can’t understand why people don’t want to use ketchup more often. When someone tells me they don’t like ketchup, I feel strange. I am not sure what emotion it is, but I don’t like it. I think everyone should just like ketchup and use it the same way that I do. I don’t think I should have to ask for ketchup in a fancy steak restaurant and feel awkward that I may be insulting the chef. If you just brought it to me in the first place, I wouldn’t have to ask, and this wouldn’t be an issue!
With that being said, I’d like to propose to Congress, a resolution towards world peace: Ketchup. If you think about it, ketchup really does go with all kinds of food, no matter the region. In France I’d use ketchup on my Steak Frites, in Mexico I’d use ketchup on my Fajitas, in Italy I’d use ketchup on my Pasta, in Greece I’d use ketchup on my Spanekopita, and in Japan I’d use ketchup on my Negimaki. World, You Are Welcome!
