Oh, but of course: Anti-meat group wants warning labels on hot dogs. I know what you're thinking: mmmmm. Hot Dogs. Also, shut up. The group will be happy when the About A Foot Long Hot Dog stands at the Fair have a big label, even though the lines won't be any less long. Well, perhaps over the course of ten years. .06 people will wonder if the indistinct, vague meat of a hot dog isn't as good for you as a pound of broccoli, and that's a start. I think the the Hot Dog industry made a mistake when they decided to market two varieties - Regular, and Beef - because it makes you wonder what's in Regular. (Answer: oh, everything.)

In some parts of the country, they regard ketchup on a hot dog as a form of sacrilege. Mustard only!

I have no idea what's wrong with those people.
