    Followed by

    The data showed that people who ate as little as one hot dog a day …

    As little as one hot dog a day? I eat like one every few months. How many hot dogs is the average American eating daily?

      You don’t have a daily dog? What else would you eat after dinner?

      I think “hot dog” was used as an example here. A hot dog has around 50 grams of meat (1.8 oz).

      I would be really surprised if most people average one a week. But that doesn’t mean it’s not happening.

        Yeah but does lunch meat count?

        I ate some pepperoni on pizza, that surely is doing damage.

      And it’s known that more than 2 - 3 times meat a week is unhealthy.

        Surely 1g every day is better than 750g once a week. Is there a quantity to that?
