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.

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.
