Just look at a hot dog - doesn't take a PhD in anything to be able to tell they can't be healthy!

From http://www.preventcancer.com/consumers/food/hotdogs.htm - "The study found that children eating more than 12 hot dogs per month have nine times the normal risk of developing childhood leukemia. A strong risk for childhood leukemia also existed for those children whose fathers' intake of hot dogs was 12 or more per month.... Recommendation: Do not buy hot dogs containing nitrite. It is especially important that children and potential parents do not consume 12 or more of these hot dogs per month."

Really!? 12x p/month!? R u serious!!?? I guess if one eats 2x hot dogs twice a week, that'd be 16, but really, hot dogs shouldn't be part of anyone's staple food. Buying em weekly, curb back to monthly :-)

Meat guy sounds like a scientist working for a meat company doesn't he? His comment read very reasonably until he wrote "Meat processors can't make money if they do not treat their animals humanely." What a load!
