This is the truth! Both me and the wife use cherry tomatoes as the
basis for tomato sauce. Much better, cheaper and tastier!

I like Romas but other types don't bother me.  I'm usually grabbing a
can from the bottom rows (USA, premium price is eye level and often not
as healthy).  The ones at the bottom rows on tomatoes are generally
better and they add no salt (or very little).  Dramatic sodium change
between 'Heinz/Hunts/Contadina' and the real ones that generally list
just tomatoes and nothing else.
