Hotdogs..are they safe to eat?

Franks, frankfurter, weiner, mini sausages, ball parks, and dachshund, people call hotdogs many different things but, hotdogs, what are they made of? Why do they taste good with what ever are put on them, mustard, ketchup, relish,onions, chili, cheese, and sauerkraut , and yes even MARSHMELLOWS taste good on hotdogs. There are many way to eat them,nuke-em, grill-em, sauté-em, roast-em, fry-em or boil-em, you could eat them raw but Im not totally conviced of there healthiness. Im going to find out what makes the hotdog so TaStEy TaStEy, or SiCk NasTeY.

Contrary to popular belief, hot dogs are not made from left-over meat laying around on the floors of meat packing houses. Whether it is pork or beef that is stuffed into a hot dog, the meat trimmings are carefully selected just like the meat you buy in supermarket fridges.

Most recipes for hot dogs combine together a tasty blend of favorite meats, meat fat (yum), a cereal filler which could be bread crumbs, flour, oatmeal, a little bit of egg white, and different herbs and seasonings including garlic, pepper, ground mustard, nutmeg, salt, and onion.

Once these ingredients are grinded together, the stuffing is squeezed into sausage casings. Many of the hot dogs sold in stores are enclosed in synthetic cellulose (not cellulite) casings, but most home-made hot dogs are made out of natural animal intestines.

So hotdogs are sort of safe to eat, kind of nasty ingridients, but none the less tastey!!!! So have fun eating hotdogs, o yeah july is national hotdog month!!!

Follow Your Heart <3

People always say “follow your heart.” Do they have any idea how hard that is. I try, I really do, its just that some of what my heart tells me to do is nerve racking and scary, I just can’t bring myself to do it. Well that brings us to another common phrase, “can’t never could.” I want to be able to do anything I so choose, and saying “I can’t” to my needs, my hearts’ needs are only doing one thing, holding me back. So I tried to look at it this way, my dad has told me this my WHOLE life. If you follow your heart and your heart is pure and of good intention the worst that could happen is you get asked to stop doing something, or get told ,no, you can’t do something, but there are so many good things that can come from a good heart! If your heart is filled with wrong intensions, evil, lies, then of course something can go wrong, but if you are filled with misconsptions then why would you want to follow your heart, any heart for that matter, because most evil, no gooders, don’t have hearts anyway, in a sense. So following your heart shouldn’t be scary, your heart knows whats best for you, more so than you do, or you think you do! So take this as a pledge, a pledge that I will follow my heart, and go where ever it might take me. So now I will spread my arms and trust that my heart won’t let me fall. <3
