Socialized hot dogs taste even better than socialized chickens.

The other night, having forgotten to take out the chicken the night before to defrost, I had to go to my default menu item:  Socialized, stress-free hot dogs.  I'm completely telling the truth and because people may not believe me, I took a picture of the packaging. 


I'm guessing that this is the marketing tactic for justifying the outrageous price on these organic, free-range (and apparently) stress-free hot dogs.  First, I had no idea that cows get stressed.  Second, I didn't know that cows weren't allowed to socialize on a "regular" farm(???)  Interesting.

P.S.  These, Applegate hot dogs, are the best hot dogs - ever.

Oh yes!!
I am very much into the "go green" stuff.
Especially animals life conditions.
Humans are taking advantage of any ind of life on this planet and if you get some infos you will find out very cruel thing that we should all fight to stop.
Cows, porks, chickens do have feelings.
At least they can feel fear, pain, sorrow.
And this should be enough to treat them with the dignity that they deserve.
:(
Sorry I am very sensitive and angry about this issue.

Uh... I don't even know what to say about that. My mouth is wide open. We don't regularly eat hotdogs, but sometimes do have chicken or turkey dogs on hand. I don't think I'll ever look at them the same now. LOL

I'm really picky about meat. Which is why it's surprising I even bother with hot dogs.
