What's in Your Hotdog? #CleanEating

The Applegate product, gift pack, and giveaway have been provided by Applegate.

I love these Applegate commercials for their hotdogs. They crack me up every time. Last summer Applegate released their awesome hotdogs in the Atlanta area and since then I haven't had another brand of hotdogs since. If the store I visit doesn't have them I don't get them. I actually won't but any other meats unless they are Applegate. Sandwich meat and bacon too. This year I decided that I wouldn't buy any foods with over processed preservatives. If I couldn't pronounce it, we didn't need to eat it. It's hard to switch, especially not having a whole foods near by but I'm so glad my local store carries Applegate now.

Applegate hotdogs have a simple list of ingredients; beef, water, sea salt, and spices. Our favorites were the stadium and big apple dogs. They plump up just like other brands and they taste “real”. I know that sounds strange but after eating processed foods for so long and them switching you can taste a difference. You taste beef. No antibiotics or hormones. It's great having them as an option.

Applegate also just released some amazing news in the food fight in America. GMO's! Applegate has committed to removing all GMO ingredients from their products (only 10 remaining) by the end of 2013. Go here for more details: www.applegate.com/gmo-faq. How awesome is that. I hope other brands take note about these positive changes and see that consumers have a right to know what's in their food. Even if you are ok with eating GMO products you still have a right to know and should want to know what you are putting in your body and your children's bodies.

Here's an awesome statistic for you! Put good stuff into your family this summer. Say no to the junk. The consumers hold the power for change. This is how we start.

It's time to stage a Weinervention with your family and friends. Check out Applegate on Facebook to have the Weinervention to snag a $2 coupon.
