It’s Worth It

Eating 1 hot dog takes 35 minutes off life, study suggests

Researchers released a nutritional index this week aiming to inform guidelines and help Americans achieve healthier and more environmentally stable diets. The index ranked foods by minutes gained or lost off healthy life per serving, with processed meats and sugary drinks among the biggest offenders.

Findings included over 5,000 foods in the US diet classified by health burden and environmental impacts.

“We use the results to inform marginal dietary substitutions, which are realistic and feasible,” authors wrote. “We find that small, targeted, food-level substitutions can achieve compelling nutritional benefits and environmental impact reductions.”

Joey Chestnut laughs in the face of your science!

  1. “and environmental impact reductions.”

    This isn’t really about my health, is it.

    1. Hot Dogs Bad. But Sucking Cock At The Pride Day and Shoving Things Up Your Ass Is all Good For You, Plus Castrating Yourself etc. And Pedophile Perversions on children
      Pancho Villa was Right Again, A wall and a Blindfold.

    2. Exactly. It is all about the next woke agenda to take any meat you enjoy away from you and/or tax/regulate it out of existence. Another article to advance the agenda with no real substance. These people hate cows and farmers etc.

      This started with cigarettes. Even you SDAers think cigarettes are terrible and believe that 2nd hand smoke will kill everyone. If true, why are we boomers not dead yet? I grew up in the 50’s and everyone smoked everywhere – home, university classes, bars, workplaces. We are living longer and longer, so much so that euthanasia is being enacted to get rid of us.

    3. Nope. Not in the least. It’s all about getting rid of livestock that are “wrecking the planet”. To quote my old Japanese mentor … “those eco-freaks need to eat more meat … their brains are shrinking”.

      PS … how much time do I lose eating a big fat Polish dog? Nevermind IDC

  2. I have em for breakfast. Eat them cold out of the fridge.
    I should of died 40 years ago.

    ( Loved Maple Leafs but the CEO went all TDS, so no more of them.)

      1. I knew that Schnieder family from Southern Ontario and unfortunately, they sold the company. They were the best, but rarely see any really great product from the company in BC. The name exists, but the quality suffers.

        1. If I recall correctly, there was a contamination incident a number of years ago. It certainly didn’t help the company’s reputation.

  4. The 35 minutes you gain with the sacrifice are added to the end of your life, when you are in an old folks home, “enjoying” the extra time as a senile and decrepit senior. Likely you will wonder why you bothered to extend life in that way, rather than having enjoyed a tasty hot dog, and maybe a few mini-donuts?

    1. Hank, exactly.
      Kingsley Amis: “No pleasure is worth giving up for the sake of two more years in a geriatric home in Weston-super-Mare”

  5. “Researchers also classified foods by nutritional and environmental impact, or shorter-term global warming.”
    In other words, the report is only good for ass-wipe.

  6. Meat’s no good for you? But it’s okay to load up on the sugars and carbs until you’re bloated like a whale, right? Don’t worry, the vaccine will save you!

  8. Reading this sort of garbage takes 47.5 minutes off one’s expected lifespan. But then, in an universe where garbage research is lauded and reality suppressed, perhaps if a hotdog took 47 years off a lifespan would be a blessing, so one doesn’t have to put up with crap pseudo-science anymore.

  9. So all those hot dog eating contestants must had have very short lives? Did the study include them?

  10. I eat only Nathans or Hebrew National brand dogs.
    All beef. (sirloin & brisket). Get ’em in the US.
    Don’t like pork, especially after watching J M Schneider’s assembly line.
    But chacun a son gout.

  12. And the Kool Ade in Guyana,took every second left of the drinkers lives.
    Oh right just like the Government Goo,programming you for a slow lingering death,to provide just enough plausible deniability to those forcing it into your arm.
    At what point does this mean war?
    For I see no difference between other government atrocities than this “help”.
    Same educated but idiots,who forcibly sterilized undesirables.
    Eugenics is back.
    Same clowns who established Phrenology as a “science”.
    Same people who claim “Debt does not matter”.
    Same Helpers who have destroyed Canada..
    So do we get to chose?
    A quick death fighting the hysterical herd?
    Or a slow lingering illness,lovingly prolonged by our parasitic overload?

    Choices ,Choices.

    1. As Reagan said, the most frightening words in the English language are “I’m from the government and I’m here to help.”

      1. Costco used to have both dogs and polish dogs, both good sized longish ones, and with that you got a soft drink, all for $1.50 (US). About 2 years back they discontinued the polish dogs, but the hot dogs are still the same and still just $1.50, including the soft drink.

      2. JSBL–
        …”not the second thing?”

        Did you mean not the “same” thing?
        Reply: Yes.

      3. They are both part of a healthy and varied diet. Close the health circle with baccon , beer, coffee.

      1. I agree. A close second choice, for me, would be the
        Montreal Steamies. I’m originally from that City, back in the day they were only 2 for $0.25! Delicious with chopped onion and finely chopped cabbage.

        1. My grandbubbies LOVE Costco polish dogs. Big treat and hey, where else
          can you buy lunch for 5 at under ten bucks? (As long as you ignore the big Costco bill before the checkout)

          1. I saw a guy with about 6 kids having lunch at Costco one day and everyone was super happy especially the man. It was a pleasure to see them enjoying themselves.

            (Yes, the shopping aspect can get out of hand)

  14. Let me guess – these researchers were funded by the Center for Science in the Public Interest, weren’t they?

    1. These are probably the same people who swore up and down that eating oleomargarine and avoiding real butter was going to save you from a massive heart attack at 35 years of age.

      1. Indeed … and the REALITY is that hydrogenated oils are cancer causing agents. Anyone who eats margarine is playing suicide roulette. The human body doesn’t appreciate those bastardized molecules.

  15. Always pushing the impossible burgers, aren’t they. So basically, a Warren Buffet type, funding pipeline protests type of thing.

  16. Researchers have shown as well, that every time you pull a ‘fact’ out of your rectum, it takes 24 minutes off your life.

    1. Hot DOG! Saskatchewan should be working on grasshoppers dogs. Better than having all that wonderful protein smashing against wind shields.

      There must be some great recipes for kale and grasshopper dogs.

  20. Takes me about 3 minutes to eat a dog.
    2 minutes if I’m at a game,
    4 minutes if an onion chunk gets caught on the way down.

    The research subjects are just being dainty for show.

  21. Back in my 20’s I smoked a lot of cigarettes and based on similar studies, I worked out I actually died some years before I was born. Does that make me some sort of Deity?

  23. So, if eating one hot dog takes 35 minutes off your life, then that means those who are starving to death live forever?

    What’s the plural of “putz”, again?

  24. Researchers! Sorry, but I only take advice from people the media deems “experts”. Pass the hotdogs, hamburgers, steak, eggs and bacon. With butter and milk too.
