A Grilled Dog Between a Bun
Happy and satisfied

I loved hotdogs as a kid, but now I fear processed food. I know what’s in it. The waste products that shorten a lifespan, the fat that clogs the arteries — the cardiovascular disease and type two diabetes.
All those additives and dyes. The possibility of cancer. The worry and the trauma. The comfort food that knocks on death’s door.
As a child, I didn’t think about what I put inside my belly. I had only one agenda — to be happy and satisfied. Slather a Dodger Dog with mustard and relish on a warm, toasted bun, and watch a ballgame from the bleachers with a footlong mouthful.
