Vegetarian hot dogs

You may have heard me rant about this previously. I saw they have vegetarian hot dogs in the natural foods section of the store I shop at. My question is, do they really think this will lure in more vegetarians? Was there a whole segment of the meat-eating population out there saying, "If only they could make a food that looked and tasted like hot dogs, without meat, I would become a vegetarian?" Because I hate to break it to those people, but hot dogs are really not that great. The only good reasons to eat a hot dog are a) If you're in college, living hand-to-mouth and buying groceries using plasma-donation money, b) you are homeless, c) you are on your sixth PBR in the parking lot of a baseball stadium, with a grill going full bore, and nary a brat or hamburger to be found. Even then, it might be preferable to grill the stuffing from your carseats. Not much flavor, but it has a sort of cotton candy-like consistency. Posted by mill1991 at April 3, 2004 2:00 PM

They are basically making them to accomodate the few vegetarians that chhose that way of life.
