"CLIP (RUBEN VERBES): Hello Sporkful, I'm Ruben Verebes, a food journalist based in Hong Kong. And I cannot stand ketchup. After a horrifying experience during school lunches of my youth, where my classmates would slap together beige and white food and just horribly overcooked meat with the sickly acidic red sauce, I have just straight-up hated the condiment with a passion. Its putrid smell and gross taste has enabled millions to offend chefs worldwide. You're basically telling someone that you think their food is terrible and you have to use this sickly sweet sauce to flavor it yourself. Using ketchup may also mean that you, yourself, have poor taste in food — harsh, I know. [EMILY PASHMAN LAUGHS] Ketchup is straight-up bad for society [LAUGHING] and it should be abolished."
