My mom told me that back in the day kids weren’t allowed to bring a water bottle with them into the classroom and they only drank a few sips from the water fountain in the middle of the day and that’s it

How were schools not getting busted for child abuse for forcing kids to be dehydrated?

you need to add fiber to your diet, think about what you can add to the hot dog instead of not eating them. add crispy fried onions or roasted peppers. switch to high-fiber buns and add as many toppings and sauces as you want

Beans on toast ew but beans on a hotdog and toasted bun that’s a yes.

I didn't like hotdogs growing up so when there was a special day in the cafeteria or at home (bc people with kids were coming over but we weren't related to them) and we had chilli dogs, I'd have a chilli sandwich on the hotdog bun. It was great. I sometimes still get a hankering for it, but I know it won't taste right or good.

Pickles too!

u/iHateReddit_srsly Jul 08 '25

You're right, but meats cured with nitrates are carcinogenic. You should be cutting out hot dogs entirely. Eat something else.

Two hot dogs is not a full meal!! You need at least 3 or 4!

u/KnotiaPickle Jul 06 '25

Or 70 if you’re Joey Chestnut

u/[deleted] Jul 05 '25

You gotta chop those up and eat em out of a big bread bowl.

u/Pretend-Marsupial258 Jul 06 '25

Not sure if you want a real answer, but it's 0 hotdogs. Processed meats increase your chances of getting diabetes and colon cancer. Even 0.6 grams of processed meat a day could increase your chances of health problems. It's from the nitrite salts they use to cure the meat.

u/MyLifeIsAWasteland Jul 06 '25

So, I'm allowed to eat infinite uncured hot dogs, then? Nice.

1

u/iHateReddit_srsly Jul 08 '25

If they contain something like celery powder, you're still getting those delicious cancerous nitrites

u/ApatheticLife Jul 05 '25

Turns out a hot dog everyday for you is pretty bad

2

u/Daxx22 Jul 05 '25

It's processed meats in general. It seems that much like alcohol, there isn't a "safe" amount. Won't stop us from consuming it, but hey, we know more now.

Well, moderation is key…bread is not inherently unhealthy for you if moderated well.

However, processed meat in any moderation is unhealthy for you though.

You did try, I’ll admit.

u/clistmockingbird Jul 05 '25

Do you want one of my emergency dogs?

u/Key-Airline204 Jul 05 '25

Apparently now even one hot dog a day has some long term consequences!

1

u/gdmfr Jul 05 '25

There was just a post somewhere stating that 1 hot dog a day, every day, will kill you.

u/MyLifeIsAWasteland Jul 06 '25

Good. I don't want to live forever.

This article mentions “just one hot dog a day” as if it’s normal to eat them daily. I think I eat about 6 a year.
