The only hot dogs I eat are from Trader Joe's. They have their own all natural line.

They still aren't great for you, but at least they are uncured and do not contain any shitty chemicals. They are pretty damn good too.

Trader Joe's is a great place to get meats without nitrates. Their hot dogs are tasty too. Their turkey ones are actually pretty great too, only 60 calories a piece too, so could eat the whole package and still be OK :)

I like Nathan's hot dogs, split down the middle and fried in butter on a bun that's also been fried in butter.

Our local coop now carries buffalo hot dogs. I was a little leary, but they are actually quite tasty.

anyone who knows anything that the average american diet is worse than cigarettes. you'd be healthier if you were a half-pack a day smoker who ate healthy, fresh foods and exercised than a person who ate an average american diet and didn't smoke.

doesn't mean it's ok to smoke... just saying that as horrible as smoking is to your health, the average american diet is worse. just think about all the people out there who eat an average american diet and smoke...

Don't care, my hotdog ain't hurtin' no one but me. Same can't be said of cigarettes.
