Hot dogs have been eaten by Americans for years. We even feed them to our kids because they are quick and easy and our kids love them. However, once you learn about what is actually in a hot dog, you may never want to touch one again!
The Reasons You May Never Want Another Hot Dog Are:
It's got all the trimmings
A hot dog is known in the meat industry as a “pre-cooked meat product, and according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, a pre-cooked meat product can contain “lower-grade muscle trimmings, fatty tissues, head meat, animal feet, animal skin, blood, liver and other edible slaughter by-products.”
It's emulsional
They're put through a grinder and come out looking like your usual ground meat. At this point, more ingredients are added and the whole lot goes into yet another machine that continues to cut, mix, beat, pound, pulverize, and generally remove all remaining meat-like qualities beyond the color and the flavor. If the meat, fat, water, and other ingredients are in the correct proportions, this additional process produces what is often referred to slightly flatteringly as a “meat emulsion.”
The case
The casings come in two varieties: cellulose, which is a plant-based casing that's removed before the frankfurter is packaged, and “natural,” which are not removed and come from the cleaned small intestines of sheep and pigs.
The ingredients
According to the USDA hot dogs also contains 567 milligrams of salt as well as 40 milligrams of cholesterol.
Seriously, the ingredients!
The truth behind the hot dog just became a little clearer thanks to Clear Food, a company that takes food inspection to a whole new level and includes genetic analysis among their standard tests. Their “Hot Dog Report” from October 2015, which turned up some disturbing results. Out of the 345 hot dogs that they tested, they found 19 that contained the meat of an animal that it wasn't supposed to, like chicken in an all beef sausage, or lamb in a turkey dog.
The ingredients!
For someone who eats meat, undisclosed pork is potentially a happy accident, But if you're a vegetarian it would be a very different story. In among the grains and greens of that mustard soaked mouthful, Clear Food turned up some slightly more mobile protein in ten percent of the vegetarian samples. We're talking animals in the veggie dogs.The ingredient's people!
They're full of animal extras, salt, cholesterol, emulsion,the unmentioned meat and absent protein. According to Clear Food, when they did their genetic analysis, along with the cows, and pigs, and chickens, and turkeys, and sheep, they turned up the DNA of one animal that is not like the others. Clear Food actually found human DNA in two percent of the 345 hot dogs they tested.
