Burgers over dogs

I would rather have cheeseburgers over hotdogs because sometimes hotdogs taste so bad.

Also, I saw a scientist on TikTok who put a hotdog underneath a microscope, and there were chunks of things in the hotdog. There were brown specks and random squiggly lines (most likely hair). Then he did a thinner piece of the hotdog, and there were wormlike parasites or insects squirming right on the surface of the hotdog slice. That whole study grossed me out, and I haven’t eaten a hot dog since.

Also you can’t put anything like lettuce, tomato, or cheese on a hot dog like you can with a cheese burger.

Hotdogs are made out of multiple different parts of animals, like meat from the animal’s head, feet, liver, fatty tissue, lower grade muscle, blood, etc. Basically it’s the parts of the animal you typically wouldn’t eat.

Cheeseburgers, however, are only made out of ground beef. I would very much rather eat one thing I usually eat (ground beef) rather than a mix of things I wouldn’t eat regularly.

The taste of cheeseburgers is more flavorful and has a nice after taste, but hotdogs taste very bland and have a weird aftertaste. When you reheat cheeseburgers they still have a good taste, but when you reheat hotdogs they are even more bland with less juices.

Hotdogs also have a high sodium level which can lead to headaches, bloating, an increased risk of dementia and stomach cancer. On the other hand cheeseburgers only have some saturated fats, but they have no sugar and are a good source of iron, vitamin B6, and B12.

In the end cheeseburgers will always be number one.
