hello guys. :) i like to eat hotdogs especially those what you call "Cheesedogs", those hotdogs with cheese inside. :) i really like them especially when i eat them with rice. lolz. :)
however, i have heard some bad things about hotdogs like: it has lots of extenders and it has some unknown meat mixed in it. do you believe this?

I don't usually eat regular hotdogs. I prefer the German bratwurst instead. Especially the grilled ones with the crunchy skin. It's absolutely delicious.
I used to eat them quite often until it was reported in the news that these processed foods usually contain lots of nitrites which are used to preserve the meat. It said that consuming too much of it can caus cancer in the long run.
Also, people say that fast food restaurants add fillers, chemicals and other stuff to the meat and it seems that this is also detrimental to one's health.

I know that hot dogs are many unknown meats, but you know what I really do not care because I love them. Give me a hot dog over a hamburger any day. The thing is it has to be a good hot dog, I really hate those chicken dogs, not too sure what they put in them.

hey yeah, you're right. some chicken dogs do taste funny and maybe that's why the rumors of hotdogs having some unknown meat included in it seems to originate from chicken dogs. :) lolz. :)

I love the cheesedogs!! They are the best ever, but I don't think they are very healthy at all. And yes I believe all the crap they say is in hotdogs is true =) but they still taste really good so I don't care!! My kids love them too so we always have hotdogs in the house =) It is a quick and easy dinner.

Yes I love hot dogs because I am a sausage lover! I specially love when they have mustard instead and have some nice cheese inside! I don't like too much veggie inside though because it would be such a mess when I start chewing on the hot dogs. I tried some hot dogs without mustard inside and I find them not delicious at all! *laughs*

hi there. :) well, you buy tofu, deep fry it, then slice them into cubes. then you make a dip by mixing soy sauce, vinegar, lemons and minced onions and garlic. :) i dont know if you will like it but my family really goes gaga over it. lolz. :)

I only eat hotdogs occasionally. Hot dogs contain nitrites which are used as preservatives, primarily to combat botulism. During the cooking process, nitrites combine with amines naturally present in meat to form carcinogenic N-nitroso compounds. It is also suspected that nitrites can combine with amines in the human stomach to form N-nitroso compounds. These compounds are known carcinogens and have been associated with cancer of the oral cavity, urinary bladder, esophagus, stomach and brain.

I eat hotdogs several times a week. I find hot dogs are a fast convient food. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to be able to cook a hotdog. And thats a good thing since I am not tha good at cooking. But i think that eating hotdogs many times a week is not too much healthy...

I've never had a cheesedog before but it sounds really good! I'll have to try them sometime. I do believe that the things that people put in them to make the hotdogs aren't necessarily good for you, but I could really care less. All that matters to me is that they taste good. I mean, of all the foods we eat most of them contain preservatives and other chemicals that are bad for the people who eat the product so I wouldn't worry too much about hotdogs because its most definitely not the only food that could be bad for you.
