There's a quote that goes like this; "Hot dogs, like cigarettes, should come with a warning label that helps racing fans and other consumers understand the health risks" Are you going to start and limit the hot dogs you consume, and feed your children?
Yes, I'm going to start limiting the amount of hot dogs we eat.
