Your hubby is giving you a hard time. Hot dogs are made out of cuts of meat, not the left overs. So if you get all beef, they are select cuts of beef, fillers and seasoning ground up and put into sausage casings. The other hot dogs are a blend of select cuts of various types of meat.

Yes, dear I was giving you a hard time. I had no idea that you'd believe me, and for all these years. Ugh, now my secret is out. I guess I can't get the all-beef hotdogs anymore and have an excuse for getting them. Hehe.

Yeah, that's pretty much what hot dog meat is. Leftover bits that can't be used for anything else. They're a way to use all of the meat from an animal. It's all ground up, so it's not like you can tell. If it tastes good and won't do you any harm - more than any other junk food - what does it matter?

I have heard that as well, I don't eat meat ans a few people have told me there is so little meat in hotdogs and sausages it would ok for me to eat them so if there is scraps in there I think maybe there wouldn't be much anyway....

It's that true? Well if that is true there nothing wrong with that. I also heard that Hotdogs are made from native worm.
