Do you know what you’re eating?!
Ever wondered what’s in a hot dog? I have! And if you’re not eating veggie dogs, you may be shocked to find out what’s really in that hot dog you just ate!
Just another reason why you should be eating real food like fruits and vegetables—you know, food that doesn’t have to be dyed or processed. When you have to change the appearance of food in order to convince yourself to eat it, it’s probably more than safe to say that you shouldn’t eat it at all.
Whitney CalkSo now that you’ve learned about or had a quick refresher on hot dogs, it’s time to cook up some yummy veggie hot dogs! Yum! 
What do you put on your veggie hot dogs? Let us know in the comments section below.
peta2 Street Team Coordinator + lover of vegan food, cats, animal rights, Dawson's Creek, and Harry Potter.
Hello! My name is Nina, and I am a musician-in-training, and I play 7 instruments. I am a liberal, an LGBT activist, avid reader, composer, singer, and poi spinner. I am vegan, and a strong supporter of animal rights.
Born and raised in Mexico. I love vegan food and animals!
I was born in Canada and love peta2. I table every month and meet new people:older and younger. I love music and play the recorder. I'm a 6 year spelling bee champion. Again I love peta2!
I have always lived in Los Angeles but my family and I went to Mexico for my parents wedding. So we came back to LA. I don't like LA but were here already what can I do unless I move out and find my own housing. I have always liked animals and it was til I was like about 14 when I learned about tests they do on animals and I began to explore animal cruelty because I was interested it in it. I have watched videos that just broke my heart so that's why today I'm doing all I can to not buy anything that has harmed an animal and I'm vegetarian .
I'm tall, I love sewing, fashion and the environment, also I'm vegetarian (wannabe vegan.) Obviously, I love animals! :)

I’ve never actually had a veggie hotdog as of yet- mainly because a lot of them are still crappy for your health. I guess that hotdogs being bad for you, no matter the form, is the nature of the beast, but does anyone know of any that are at least decent, while still not tasting like pig vomit?

Hey Justin,
Vegan meats are healthy, fresh and no animals are harmed in the making! You can’t say that about non-vegan hot dogs.
