    I don't think they actually use the anus. I do know that that thin film that holds hot dogs and sausages together is pig intestine.

    Arseholes, eyeholes, and earholes. Oh wait, that's rissoles.

    To be serious, yes, when food is produced down to a price, you can't throw anything away because you're competing with other manufacturer's who don't. I know it sounds unpalatable but most groups of people with a subsistence diet do practice "end to end" eating. Then a funny thing happens. The posh restaurants catch on to it and suddenly the price of things like "cow heel", "scrag end", "belly pork", "pig's ear" and "pig's cheek" go up.

    In the middle ages, oysters used to be food for the poor. Not any more.

    It also disturbs me that some countries use "non-meat protein" which is often slang for insect matter. It hasn't happened in the UK yet, but I suspect it's around the corner.

    No they're not allowed to use those parts for making hot dogs, it's a myth.

    I really think that they are made out of the left overs of th cows and pigs so....the left over of the pig and horses are the asshole and the lips also the penis and the rest of the left overs

    No, at least not in the United States, doing so would violate the USDA and FDA guidelines for processed meat products.

    The main ingredient in hotdogs is "mechanically separated beef/chicken/pork". This is basically the meat left on the bones after the rest is cut away. They take the bones and strip them using very high pressure scalding hot water to force the remnants off the bones, which is processed to a paste and treated. Organs and other stuff do not go into them, those are either packed separate, or else used in dog food.

    The bones will be trucked off and turned into Elmer's glue and plant food.

    i doubt it, the fda would declare that unsafe and thus illegal. now, i know they don't use the best parts of the pig and im sure its made from "leftover" meat. usually, stuff like the anus and most organs are used for dog food. but even the " dog food" meat is sterilized with ammonia gas, so idk.

    please don't eat any kind of meat because they are really mistreated and stays in a a pool of bloody factories that shoot them in their head with guns and they keep bleeding to death, cut their throats ..etc and then comes in a great sandwich with 5$ that's not cool. I'm really not typing this to make anybody feel that bad but because people should be aware of what they're doing .

    I agree with Valkeer.

    The real question here should be 'Would you stop eating them?'

    My answer, no, probably not.

    :P

    I worked at a meat factory at one time, hotdogs aren't made of lips and assholes but trust me, what they are made from isn't better. As for pigs assholes, what do you think ham made of? its pig's ass or as they call it "hind legs", and nobody cuts out the anus.

    I am not sure that you'd call what pigs have "lips", so probably just assholes.

    The all beef ones are cow parts, the kosher beef ones are from the front half of the cow so no assholes there.

    The non all beef ones are actually made of pig, cow and turkey.

    Depends. Normally sausages are made from cheeks, minced up with fat. But if you're talking about the frankfurts or the dirty water hot dogs, I wouldn't have a clue.
