Bacon-Wrapped Hot Dogs Have Rights, Too
Both Reason Magazine and The Desert Dispatch have chimed in on the LAPD's crackdown on bacon-wrapped hot dog vendors in Hollywood last Friday night. "Most disturbing is that apparently, the police simply destroyed all the carts and all the contents without involving that crazy little creation we have here in the United States called 'the justice system,'” wrote the Dispatch in an editorial. Reason writes that this "story has everything: class warfare, racism, protection rackets, relish, and mustard."

Should schools ban hot dogs?
The Cancer Project, a national cancer prevention group, wants processed meats such as hot dogs to be banned from school cafeterias.
To communicate the message, the group is running a TV ad that features schoolchildren dining on cafeteria hot dogs and pepperoni pizza. One little boy says, "I thought I'd live forever. I was dumbfounded when the doctor told me I have late-stage colon cancer."
It's certainly attention-grabbing. Jennifer Reilly, senior nutritionist for the Cancer Project, told The Philadelphia Inquirer that the point of the ad was not to alarm but to teach parents and school food directors about the importance of healthy choices.
The inspiration behind the campaign is the latest news from the American Institute for Cancer Research, which recently published a report concluding diets high in red meat (beef, pork and lamb) and especially processed meats (such as hot dogs) are a convincing cause of colorectal cancer.
According to the Inquirer, The Cancer Project says that eating hot dogs, sausage patties and similar foods increases a person's risk of colorectal cancer by 21 percent for every 50 grams eaten daily. The article says 50 grams is the size of one hot dog.
The Cancer Project looked at menus in 38 school districts around the country, and launched its ad campaign in "failing districts" - Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Minneapolis and Chicago.
But as usual, others suggest moderation is the key.
The paper quotes Paul Lyons, professor of family medicine at Temple University School of Medicine: "There are lots of reasons not to give your children large quantities of processed meats - cancer is one, but there are better ones, like high calories, high sodium, and high fat. If your child eats hot dogs once in a while, I don't think that you need to worry that they'll get cancer."

Eat This, Not That . The Best and Worst Summer Barbeque Foods
The Great American Barbecue is as much of a summer staple as the Hollywood blockbuster, the belly flop, and the farmer tan.
In fact, 71 percent of American households fire up the grill at least once a week from Memorial Day to Labor Day, which means all of us will chew our way through thousands of calories worth of grill-friendly foods.
And while a live flame can be a healthy cooking tool, the nutritional differences between a hot dog and a hamburger, a mojito and a margarita, might determine whether you fit into, or overflow, the waistline of your swimsuit this summer.

The top 10 foods only America could have invented
When it comes to food, America gets a bad rap. It’s a common refrain that America has no cuisine to call our own. We’ve got apple pie and hot dogs, but that’s about it. (And when you really get down to it, the Germans invented hot dogs, and the British were eating apple pie like 1,000 years ago.
But the truth is, America does have a cuisine to call it’s own. Over the past 232 years we’ve invented some of the most creative, daring, and yes, downright craziest dishes the world has ever seen. Sure, they can be overly greasy, a little too cheesy, and sometimes fried a few times too many. But they’re ours. So to celebrate Independence Day, we’ve put together this list of the best foods that only a country with just the right combination of greed, grit, and gluttony could have possibly dreamed up.
