When Ronald Reagan was Governor of California, he signed a resolution that edicted that Ketchup was a vegetable. This was in order for the public school system to be able to claim ketchup as part of the required amount of a food group for schoolchildren's lunch. It supposedly saved taxpayers an exorbitant amount of money as ketchup is much cheaper than carrots, and became the ironic slogan for intellectuals all over the state as a reference for what actually was a vegetable.

The thing is, ketchup is a Processed food.
