  1. I love hot dogs and when I looked up the ingredients I was 100% surprised. I know hot dogs aren't healthy but I figured they couldn't kill you. Apparently I was sadly mistaken!! :(

  3. I never knew about the chemicals in hotdogs since they taste good! I Never really focused on how they really are made and it makes me think twice before I eat another hotdog. Its amazing what there is in foods we eat every day!

  4. Wow! I never knew that Hot dogs had those ingredients in them. All I new before was that the companies can use any part of the animal(meat) in the hot dog. Also,I'm not sure but does the FDA allows chocolate to be made that has less the 2% of unintentional ingredients such as bugs ,dust and other materials?

    I used to read ingredients in my food my it just grosses me out now. I know that bologna has many chemicals in them as well as bacon and actually lettuce! Lettuce they serve at fast food resturaunts have a chemical in them called Propylene glycol which is not even legal to use in cat food because it hasn't been proven safe yet.
