No matter which way you cut it, hotdogs just aren’t good for your health—a fact that most veggies know. But is the general public aware that these processed meat foods put consumers at risk for colorectal cancer? The Cancer Project, a nonprofit organization dedicated to cancer prevention, is convinced of the risk and is holding hotdog companies accountable for not providing warning labels on their products. The Cancer Project filed a class-action lawsuit against Nathan’s Famous, Kraft Foods/Oscar Mayer, Sara Lee, ConAgra Foods, and Marathon Enterprises in Essex County, NJ, this week. This group wants the companies to put a label on the foods stating: “Warning: Consuming hot dogs and other processed meats increases the risk of cancer.” If the labels ever become a reality, veggie dogs are plentiful and a perfect alternative for health-conscious consumers.
