Look, we're not going to say that you can never eat a hot dog again. But we will say that some cutting back needs to take place. If you really have to, buy one at a sports game when there's not much else on offer. But really try to phase these out of your life. Hot dogs actually produce carcinogenic nitrates, which are known to cause cancer.
In addition to that, they contain high levels of sodium, including sodium phosphate, which is an ingredient that even McDonald's has banned. You know there's something wrong if fast food chains don't even want anything to do with it! If you're craving a hot dog, try buying locally sourced organic pork sausages and putting them in a fresh bun. Add some fried onions, mustard, and ketchup on top and you are guaranteed to enjoy it.
