Bad Dog...

The great American pastime.  What goes better with a BBQ than a hotdog.  But not all dogs are created equal.  The ones at Costco are the hugest I've ever seen but despite being tasty they are one of the worst for you.  Each dog has 2 grams of transfat.  I won't get into why its bad for you.  Just google why transfat is bad for you.  Anyhow it's appalling not many people know about this.  I mean regular fat makes you fat and sodium raises blood pressure.  But transfat is bad for cholesterol and causes heart failure.  Most eating out does and is bad in many other ways.  But they make hotdogs with out transfat.  Not Costco personally but many others do.  A little fat is ok but transfat  should be avoided all together.
