As little as one hot dog a day? I eat like one every few months. How many hot dogs is the average American eating daily?
You don't have a daily dog? What else would you eat after dinner?
No hot dog surprise cereal either, apparently!

I talk about this one all of the time. Such a classic.
I think "hot dog" was used as an example here. A hot dog has around 50 grams of meat (1.8 oz).
I thought hot dogs weighed at least a quarter lb?
That seems like a large hot dog. Hang on, I've got a pack in the fridge (gotta have my one hot dog a day, after all).
Ball Park brand bun size beef franks are 53g each.
I would be really surprised if most people average one a week. But that doesn't mean it's not happening.
Yeah but does lunch meat count?
I ate some pepperoni on pizza, that surely is doing damage.
The Toddlers Union of America would like a word...
And it's known that more than 2 - 3 times meat a week is unhealthy.
Which reminds me. I need to start eating chicken again. Rn I have a rotating menu of fish, tofu, beef.
Surely 1g every day is better than 750g once a week. Is there a quantity to that?
