Healthy Hot Dog Ph.D.

Did you know Americans eat seven billion hot dogs from Memorial Day to Labor Day? Whoa! And you thought your Cub Scout troop ate a lot!

If you like our Hot Diggities recipe on http://www.guyfoodguy.com/, here's some info on choosing the healthiest brand of hot dogs that you can:

• Look for 6 grams of fat per serving or less, which is half as much fat as the usual hot dog;
• Try to have less than 480 milligrams of sodium per serving
• Avoid hot dogs that contain antibiotics and nitrites/nitrates

You can become a real hot dog on healthy hot dog knowledge on http://www.hearthealthyonline.com/healthy-recipes/cooking-nutrition-tips/heart-healthy-hotdogs_ss1.html

GUYS ARE OFTEN . . . HOT DOGS

The current http://www.guyfoodguy.com/ recipe, Hot Diggities, calls for cut-up hot dogs. That must be very offensive to these characters:

They are actually highly creative and totally edible concoctions, even though they look like hot dog men in a hot tub of chili! Yes, those dots of mustard are eyes. The one at left appears to be a female because she's wearing lipstick; at least, it's Tomato Red.

Here are more hot dog men. See what you think, and if your culinary creativity could ever . . . ketchup with these people:

With camping season upon us -- yay! -- what are some other camping foods that make you sing around the campfire?
