go to a butcher and get real red meat, from a farm, and bypass this entire issue :-)

Or, realize none of us will live forever and enjoy it now: body and health concerns be damned!

(note: I don't eat a lot of processed meats or meats at all, actually)

I personally try to stay away from processed anything.

Having tasted organic turkey hot dogs, I'm not surprised. They are far superior.

Agreed though. Going to die. Enjoy life, but everyone should make the choices with knowledge.

It is so easy to make your own bacon. Or to buy nitrite-free foods. I got the yummiest all-organic hot dogs (nitrite free of course) from that uh, healthy food giant store, the other day. Pricy, but they were delicious. As long as you're willing to give up that reddish tint for a more odd but natural brown color, you'll find the taste is even better. There's no reason not to enjoy your food and your life as well.
If anyone wants instructions on how to make your own bacon, I'm happy to make some up. I can also teach you how to stuff your own hot dogs with natural casings, or most sausage. :)

I can't get behind the "we're all going to die eventually" mindset. Have any of you ever known anyone with cancer? No thanks. I'll pass. I know I'm going to die eventually, but I'm not going to cut it short or end it in misery when I could be enriching the value of the years I spend here. Be it if I die tomorrow of unnatural causes or when I'm 95 and in my sleep.

derrick gilbert I don't eat hotdogs at all generally or most meat. My food allergies won't let me really be a vegetarian though even though I'm trying.

Zei Davis Yes, I have. I've also watched someone die of a massive stroke four days later as well as others live with disabilities after a stroke for years.

There is no way you'll know how you die. You have to do the best that you can know and that includes how you enjoy the life you have now.

Furthermore, those articles are 5+ years old. Fail.

LOL. Hippies were into free love and drugs!

I'm allowed to be picky about food. I can't tolerate salicylates right now. Nitrates are nothing!

And the worst part is that completely left off the entire place where it should say that pregnant women should never, ever eat deli meat. Not without at least heating it to kill the listeria. Yep, something that you probably wouldn't even notice you ate, might get a little gassy one day during your pregnancy, that can kill your baby. It can also kill the pregnant mother. It is way more common then anyone knows.

Why would Erika have posted a wiki reference? Sorry, for some reason her comments didn't load into my feed until just now.

I don't make a lot of personal posts so please bear with me. #Rufus hasn't been doing well for the past week or so. I mean, he's 13 (at least), and has slowed down due to age, but the past week or two he's been acting like every movement is a Herculean effort. A few times in the past couple of weeks his rear legs have given out on him completely to where I've had to pick him up and carry him which is, in itself, telling. Rufus has always hated being carried and struggled continuously when I did so. Yesterday while petting him I noticed two golf-ball sized things up under his chin. Now, they may be benign lipomas as Rufus is covered with them (one one each thigh, one on each shoulder, one on his chest and a few smaller bumps here and there) or they may be indicative of something else. I'm no vet and aside from emergency medic battlefield training I have no medical experience whatsoever, but these new things seem to be where your or mine lymph nodes are located....

Did you know dog meat is served in restaurants in South Korea?

Did you know dog meat is served in restaurants in South Korea? I didn't. In the United States and most western countries, Fido is a family companion and while it's not ethical to judge another culture by our standards, anyone who doesn't at least (humanely) butcher the animal first is acting without proper care. South Korea relies on western consumerism for their economy and needs to be aware that we do not accept the practice of skinning and boiling dogs alive. Originally shared by April Benney Over 6,000 restaurants in South Korea are still serving dog meat even though it is now illegal. In many Asian countries dogs are boiled alive or skinned alive when slaughtered. It's an unbelievably horrendous & torturous way to die. I know a lot of you hate seeing this kind of posts on G+, but the Asian industry slaughtering dogs & cats is how I first got involved in animal rights & it will always be my main animal welfare concern. It's intolerable what is happen...

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.
