 This is about Oscar Meyer turkey franks...

"Oscar Mayer's Classic Turkey Franks are made from mechanically separated meat (MSM)—a paste-like substance made by forcing bones through a sieve at high pressure to remove any remaining meat, according to the USDA. MSM made from beef has been banned in the U.S. since 2004 due to concerns about mad cow disease, although mechanically separated poultry is safe to eat, says the Food and Drug Administration. 

These dogs are relatively high in fat and sodium. Each has 100 calories, 8 grams of fat (including 2.5 grams of saturated fat), 510 milligrams of sodium, and 5 grams of protein.

I imagine we'd all be grossed out by how much of our food is processed! So personally I choose not to know too much, only if it tastes good. Ignorance is bliss in that category.

 Don't get me wrong, I knew that they could be nasty.   The part about grinding up bones and running them through a sieve was news to me.  Just disgusting.  Does anyone know that when Hebrew brand says "no byproducts" does this mean that is not happening?  Also, never realized you could even by uncured hotdogs.  Anyone try the vegetarian smart dog?  Those were rated highly for nutrition.
