Impossible Hot Dogs Are Here And They Are A Heart Healthy Swap

Author Chris Allen

In 2015, the WHO categorized hot dogs and other processed and red meats as class 1 carcinogens, along with cigarettes and asbestos, due to their cancer risks.  Impossible Hotdogs are here and they are a heart-healthy swap.

Many plant-based meat options, including Impossible Foods’ latest product, can satisfy your hot dog appetite without compromising your health. The Impossible Hot Dog has 50 percent less saturated fat and double the protein (12 grams per serving) of animal-derived hot dogs. As a plant-based product, the Impossible Dog has no cholesterol.

ChewBoom says to celebrate, Impossible Foods will be serving free Impossible Hot Dogs for one day only in Midtown Manhattan on December 16, 2023, from 11 am to 6 pm. Impossible fans can check out the brand’s Instagram page for the address drop in the days leading up to the event.

Impossible Foods released its seventh new product in the last year, the Impossible Hot Dog, after its Impossible Beef Lite, the second plant-based meat after Beyond Steak, received an American Heart Association Heart-Check Food Certification.

Researchers continue to find health benefits in replacing animal meat with plant-based substitutes. Have you recently switched from animal products to plant products? What was the hardest thing for you to get used to?

Top 10 Places For Best Hot Dogs In Charlotte

Today is National Hot Dog Day! The hot dog is considered by many the classic, All-American meal.

And the ways to make a hot dog vary. For example, some like me,  prefer hot dogs grilled or toasted over a fire. They can be boiled, pan-fried, and even cooked in a rotisserie. The key to a great hot dog, of course, is the toppings. How do you like yours served?  Less is more for me. I like to keep it basic, ketchup, mustard, chili, and cole slaw. But I’ve seen some top hot dogs with relish, onions, mayonnaise, cheese, bacon, chili, and sauerkraut.

Here are some interesting facts about America’s summertime favorite food from National Day Calendar.

  • Over 25 million hot dogs are sold at baseball stadiums each year
  • A world record was set in May 2012 for the most expensive hot dog. The “California Capitol City Dawg” sold for $145.49 at Capitol Dawg
  • 7-Eleven sells the most grilled hot dogs in North America – 100 million annually

And to help celebrate National Hot Dog Day, I’ve put together the top 10 places in Charlotte that serve the best hot dog.
