What is in a hot dog?

What is "variety meats"? Why that's a response to the DoA's requirement that ingredients be disclosed on the label of food products, of course. The reality is probably not a mystery: everything from choice meat that didn't make the cut to things that one would not even want to be in the same room with normally. And then there's sodium nitrate. That wonderful preservative that's been linked to cancer. Oh, and don't forget MSG.

Do you eat hot dogs? Why? Why not?

Edit: the name of the thread is a bit of a joke. Obviously an exaggeration.
