SIR - Reading the article on schools restricting the use of tomato ketchup due to concern over salt levels (T&A October 1), I could not help but feel bemused and amused by this unnecessary fuss over a few extra grams of salt.
In actual fact, the tomato is the best health fruit there is and has also proved to be a very good safeguard against cancer.
As usual, I fear the nanny state we now seem to live in rubber stamps everything considered to be bad for the health, without looking at both sides of something that in fact could be beneficial.
