I’m linking you to a story about Hot Dogs, also known as the food I’ll never look at the same again! The gist of the story is about a television commercial that has children saying that they have cancer. The story implies that their cancer is from eating hot dogs.
Thing is – the kids, thanks be to God, don’t have cancer. Furthermore, experts tell us that eating processed meats, such as hot dogs, only slightly elevates our risk for certain cancers. Some would argue that even the slightest risk AT ALL would warrant finding something else to put between your slices of bread.
I don’t go to the extreme in either direction. I know you can’t protect yourself from every single threat out there, but I also would walk through fire to keep my family as safe as possible.
It isn’t so much the health issue that has made me turn my back on hot dogs. It’s the list of nastiness that “the government allows them to contain.” These unappetizing allowances are (and I wish I were kidding): pig snouts and stomachs, cow lips and livers, goat gullets and lamb spleens.
To coin a phrase made popular by one Bill the Cat: ACK!
Some would argue that the countless hot dogs I’ve eaten to date haven’t (apparently?) done me any harm – and I agree with their thinking. But that was before I knew what could potentially be going into my mouth!!! Now that I know… no thanks.
