Make some yourself That way you know that the meat is heated up really
really well before you eat it -- Pip My girls : DD1 Jasmine - 5 weeks early - 21 March 02 - "I'm a big girl cause I go to school kindy" DD2 Abby - 8 weeks early - 3 Feb 05 - Took her first steps on her 1st Birthday.

As long as you make sure they're heated up really well, they should be okay
in moderation. I had a craving for grilled hot dogs and potato salad a few months ago and didn't deprive myself. "Denise~*" wrote in message ... Are hot dogs REALLY all that bad? I've been craving a hot dog for the last few weeks. Grrrr! |

Grrrr! if you satisfied that craving every day, then i'd be worrying, but once or twice? go for it. in my opinion anyway. Hot dogs wont kill anyone, not like listeria. but yeah, heat it up up up as the others suggest chris |

I've been craving a hot dog for the last few weeks. Grrrr! It would never occur to me not to eat a hot dog, I'm presuming the reason why you've been told not to is incase the meat isn't fully cooked? which I suppose would then be a listeria and/or toxoplasmosis risk. I'd go ahead, make them yourself if you can, or use a reliable vendor. Funnily enough I also had hot dog cravings, I made them at home a few times, or used one stand that is outside our church so we use them fairly frequently and have never had a problem, they have always been piping hot and cooked through.

Um, the main reason hot dogs are cautioned against *is* listeria. I mean, we all know they're not exactly health food, but they're not so bad healthwise as to recommend completely abstaining. However, as others have said, if you make it yourself and cook it thoroughly, the listeria risk is minimal. Best wishes, Ericka |

Best wishes, Ericka there you go, i thought it was the excessive nitrites used in smoking meat and meat products. lucky for me i am not a big hot dog eater, and lucky for the OP plenty or people read and answered her post |

When I was pregnant with DD I craved them but they had to be raw so had to
limit myself to 1 or 2 hot dogs a week if that. Thank goodness that craving passed. Jennifer Ariana 8/17/03 Alex 6/4/05 "Denise~*" wrote in message ... Are hot dogs REALLY all that bad? I've been craving a hot dog for the last few weeks. Grrrr! |

That's definitely a factor in suggesting that they're not particularly healthy foods and should be eaten in moderation, if at all. It's just that what gets them on some 'banned foods' lists for pregnancy is the listeria risk, as with all deli meats, especially if you're getting them from somewhere that you can't guarantee they've been handled and cooked properly.

They do make nitrite- free hotdogs- can't remember the brand name, but
I got some once at Central Market (TX store- branch of HEB) when I was craving them with DD. That said, I doubt a small amount of nitrite now and then can hurt much. JJ |
