Healthier Hotdogs: They Really Exist

[Hum]

It's that time of year again -- summertime, eating outside, and lots of grilling!

So pass the processed meat, please. You've probably heard all the urban legends about hotdogs: They contain pig ears, snouts, tails, and every other animal entrail you'd never touch with a 10-foot pole. :s

But they're not all bad! We searched high and low for the best hotdogs out there, made with 100 percent real beef, not "variety meats," as the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) likes to call them.

And ours are organic or grass-fed, higher in omega-3s and vitamins, and untainted by the genetically modified animal feed, hormones, or antibiotics in unhealthy factory-farmed fare.

Grab your tongs and hit the grill with these healthy dogs.

Good to know: Not only are these hotdogs the lowest-calorie 100 percent grass-fed dogs out there, but they're also the most widely available.

What get sme is the price difference. If various people want people to eat healthier, maybe lower the cost?
