When I was younger as a kid I was fond of eating hotdogs because I get excited with the sight of it on my dinner table. It is because it is attractive-looking with its red appearance sometimes and sometimes it has cheese and other flavorings. And flavorings goes on different as I have learned from country to country so I guess I can't really say that I completely lost the love for them until I tasted the famed New York hotdogs with their Manhattan sauce.
I really do not have the taste for hotdogs now. Sometimes I would taste bitterness due to the fact that my appetite at the moment is impaired by my daily medicine intake. But I also get that guilt of putting bad things in my body like the nitrates in these processed foods. But I am countering the ill-effects of nitrates by taking Vitamin C.
I also do not like the phosphates in processed foods to make them juicy and retain moisture as they are phosphorus in my body and will cause skin itching for me as well as contributing to the weakening of my bones. I am just too careful about my diet but I always eat in moderation most of the time.
But this morning I had a couple as my breakfast and I really can't swallow while I am chewing as the taste is not bearable anymore and I only had some because had to eat and take my medicine. But having them now is still okay but I won't eat another bite, I am done with hotdogs because of the taste and the guilt and now I rather eat normal meats in their normal form without added harmful additives.
