A Study Discovered That The Contents Of Hot Dogs Are Even More Disgusting Than You Think

by N/A, 9 years ago | 2 min read

There's long been a stigma about what exactly it is in your hot dog. It's essentially just a bunch of meat waste product from some meat factory somewhere wrapped up, encased and sent out to consumers in vacuum sealed bags, right? Well, sadly, that's pretty much 100% true, yet that never stopped you from eating hot dogs before, has it? Nope.

It gets worse than that though: a recent report byÂ Clear FoodÂ shows that hot dogs also contain human DNA. So, will this finally stop you from eating hot dogs?

The study looked at 345 hot dog samples from 75 brands distributed by 10 different retailers and found chicken, beef, and lamb in hot dogs that weren't supposed to contain any of those meats.

That's only the beginning, because hot dogs get even sketchier as we dig deeper into the data.

Items listed as chicken or turkey sausages, a clear choice for people who cannot eat pork for religious purposes, were found to contain pork.

They've been sinning and they didn't even know it!

Moreover, vegetarians have been getting tricked and lied to by the propaganda of the hot dog companies. 10% of vegetarian hot dogs were found to contain meat.

This may be the least tragic considering a whoppingÂ 1/3 of vegetarians are liars that actually do eat meatÂ and never tell anyone. Still though, that's not for the hot dog companies to decide! Anyway, it gets even nastier than this, especially for vegetarians.

Human DNA was found in 2% of meat hot dog samples and 66% of vegetarian hot dogs. WTF?! Not only are they eating meat, they're essentially cannibals. That's not what they signed up for.

There's no details on where the DNA comes from, but that's not really the point. The point is there's evidence of human DNA in hot dogs and we're all still eating them.

What do you think? Still going to eat hot dogs? At least you know the places and brands that are a safe bet now.

Turns out "The Simpsons" were right about this all along...

But, we don't think their warning or all this scientific evidence will slow down your hot dog consumption. You'll probably go right back to it when summer barbecue season rolls around. Hopefully, you'll prove us wrong.
