I wonder what it must be like to run a company
that makes hot dogs. There must be a certain
amount of cognitive dissonance to make a food
product you wouldn't eat yourself. Either that,
or you'd have to be a sociopath who actually
enjoys making something you consider garbage
and selling it to people you consider to be
suckers.
When I hear stories about the kinds of meat
used for ground beef and hot dogs, I imagine
people must be making considerable money by taking
euphemistically termed "beef trimmings" and turning
them into something people pay food prices for,
but that's probably an illusion. I'd guess that
most people in the sausage/hot dog/ground beef
business went into that line of work because
that's what their dad did. They don't know any
other line of work. It could be hard to compete
with people like that. They'd be more savvy on
procuring ingrediants cheaply and "tricks of the
trade" you'll never find written down in a book.
