When I want a hot dog, I go for the real thing. The beef angus ones are good. I'll give those Applegate ones a try if I can find them.

If you are just looking for something for a rare occasion, stick with a good quality frank. Hebrew National, Kosher Best, Vienna beef, etc. All beef hot dogs with a natural casing. One or two REAL hot dogs isn't going to break you.
Now if you are looking for hot dogs to eat on a frequent basis, then look elsewhere. Or actually rethink your desire to eat hot dogs on a frequent basis altogether.
Or if you have a Whole Foods by you, most of them make in house chicken and turkey sausages that are super delicious and made in house.0 -
I haven't had a hot dog for 7 months til these so probably one made out of dog food would have tasted pretty good! LOL My boyfriend kept talking about hot dogs for weeks until I finally gave in cause they started sounding good to me too! They definitely aren't on my rotation but thought they were ok especially roasted over an open fire!0

A really good alternative for hot dogs are either chicken apple sausages, or blackwing ostrich hot dogs. I have had both and the ostrich are my new obsession.
Now I want ostrich!0 -

Can't hurt to try it, probably better for you than crappy hot dogs. Good luck!0 -
No I have not. Don't they still contain nitrates?0

The Trader Joe's chicken dogs don't.

I haven't tried them, but processed meats have been shown to increase risk of colon cancer. I'd eat them sparingly.0

No, they are not all observational studies.0 -

It doesn't sound like too bad a choice for a once-in-awhile cookout. I've had the all-natural beef franks, which were still rather high in fat but acceptable in terms of sodium.0

I prefer the Jennie-O turkey ones for "diet dogs" but as other have said, it really isn't that hard to make room in a day for a "real" one. Johnsonville Brats are 220 calories, mostly from fat. That's over 3 times as many calories as the Jennie-O, but it still is not that much in the grand scheme of things.
ETA - BTW, plucking and gutting chickens is a process. Never sure where you draw the line to say when something is processed. Obviously hot dogs are way over the line, but that makes it no clearer where that line is...0 -

Well, here is a review of the various studies, both epidemiologic and experimental.

Why the risk of cancer is increased by consuming processed meat is not known and several theories exist, but the increased risk is there.0 -

Obviously you aren't eating hot dogs all the time & everyone needs to get a craving out of their system especially as your boyfriend is looking to grill. I don't personally eat hot dogs for as long as I can remember, but stumbled across Bistro Sensations - Spinach With Mozzarella Chicken Sausages. Hubby put them on the grill and they were really good. Low in calories-120, fat-5, carbs-2, 3 food points, good source of vitamin A & gluten free (made with chicken, cheese, spinache & onions). The sodium was a bit high at 470 as with anything processed.
Whatever you decide, enjoy your bbq weekend and fill up on lots of healthy fruits & veggies & sides & then get back to it!0 -

ANYTHING over an open fire is Delicious! :-)0 -

"Processed meat intake may be involved in the etiology of colorectal cancer, a major cause of death in affluent countries. The epidemiologic studies published to date conclude that the excess risk in the highest category of processed meat-eaters is comprised between 20% and 50% compared with non-eaters."0 -
LOL yeeeah. Check the sodium level in that 'hot dog'. You'd be better served slicing up a chicken breast into strips and loading that into a bun... hold the bun. :blushing:0

Don't have time to search for more studies now. Data is data. Eat the processed meats if you want.0 -
If I eat them, I eat Hebrew National low fat. Really good, even though there is tons of sodium!0
