Re: Why do so many eat hotdogs?
It depends on the ingredients. Personally, I'm not into hot dogs, but if you can find a brand that doesn't have fillers and sugars, it's OK. To me, they're frankenfood-ish, being that they are so processed. -

Oh I see, like kosher 100% beef ones or something like that? But I'm with you, I thought they were frankenfoods.30/f

Re: Why do so many eat hotdogs?
Like Phode said, it depends on the ingredients. I've seen hotdogs ranging from 1 carb per dog to 8 carbs per dog.
With that said, I do have a package of hotdogs in the freezer for an occasional hotdog. Frankly (no pun intended
), I don't think hotdogs taste as good as they used to when I was younger (or maybe my tastebuds have changed?)
I like bratwurst and other sausages better: I occasionally find local brands that don't contain fillers and such.~Megs~

Re: Why do so many eat hotdogs?
Brats are much better and usually less fatty than hot dogs. I had some really great Chicken Italian Sausage last week...they were awesome on the grill!Higgies

Re: Why do so many eat hotdogs?
You can get all-beef premium dogs (about $5 a pack) that are low carb and taste good. I eat them sometimes, but as others mentioned brats are less expensive and taste even better. The big thing to worry about with these types of meats is the nitrate content, especially if you grill them.
