To the extent that you dine on tofu, I think it's absolutely clear that you're un-American. :)
I suppose it's my patriotic duty to stop, but it's so damn good and good for me. *sigh* What's a girl to do?
On a related note driving my family to the airport last night we passed a tofu delivery truck and I had to smile. It's something the fam never gets to see back home :)
While I find their advertising repulsive, what do you expect? I guess "Our hotdogs contain more pig's lips than our competitors'!" didn't make the cut for their ad campaign.

I think it did slightly better than, "Now with 40% less rat droppings!"
Well, some brands are better than others. Most supermarket brands have a lot of filler -- lips and assholes, as it were.
I like Hebrew National because their dogs are 100% beef. Now I grant that the beef that goes into the dogs isn't the choice parts of the steer, but the fact is that even the normally-inedible shank (foreleg) and oxtail (tail) are good for some applications (say, making stock, for instance). :)
Oscar Meyer will do in a pinch because, well, it's Oscar Meyer. And Fenway Franks are the best hot dogs in the whole world because you can only get them at Red Sox games. :)
Well, no matter what parts of the cow go into making the hotdog, it's still part of the slaughterhouse industry, which has a host of health concerns all its own that I won't go into detail about. Suffice to say, what constitutes "edible" is a site of contestation!
(I have separate issues with the way Hebrew National hotdogs are probably made...again, I won't get into it...suffice to say, yeeee....)
As for the Red Sox, do I detect some Chowd Nation loyalty over there?
You need to come join the sjsharks community, if you haven't already. All kinds of fetching iconography running around. They had one of Cheechoo, too. :)

I wonder if the folks who managed to share this particular link (myself included) helped the company decide that perhaps this wasn't the best ad campaign to go with. At least I can hope so. Anyway, if people don't eat meat like normal Americans, the terrorists win!

Hebrew National makes much better hot dogs. Oscar Meyer will do in a pinch.
But the best hot dog in the world is the Fenway Frank, available only at Fenway Park, in Boston. Nothing like it anywhere.

...as a vegetarian I just don't see how any brand of hotdog counts as food...they're full of stuff most folks wouldn't even give their pets!
But hey, if you like 'em...

Nope, none at all (he tried to deadpan, but was unable to keep a straight face while typing).

I think I'll take my chances on that one ;)
