 I dont know why you are craving salt so much..But as for ketchup, there is a great product at Supercenter.  It is a blue label sugar reduced ketchup that is very good.  Sometimes when I need that extra sweetness, I will put a very small helping of this ketchup on whatever I am eating and its really good.

Maybe you are lacking in a vitamin such as A or C?

i think it's salt too,maybe with the heat we've been having, or vit c? I agree, I love the blue menu ketchup...so go crazy with it and enjoy!

Are you low-carbing your diet?  It may be your body trying to tell you something (according to the results of my non-scientific Google search).

ETA:  If I cut my carbs I crave weird stuff like ketchup.

thanks everyone..i seriously went through my diet lastnight and analyzed it, and realized that it is the carb monster for sure, plus pms.  i think it is the salt and sugar im after... tonight i just cut up a tomato with a bit of seasalt and pepper on it.  I've been eating those kashi bars lately too, carbs..even though they are good carbs,they aer still carbs none the less.   so thank you every one again for getting my brain to work and really think through this thing...

so carbs are banished from my diet now, strictly protein for the next little bit until that carb monster leaves the building!!
