A vegetarian hot dog is a hot dog produced completely from non-meat products. Vegetarian hot dogs are sometimes eaten by non-vegetarians because they are lower in fat, calories, and contain no cholesterol, and little to no saturated fat, compared to hot dogs from animal meats. Therefore, they are preferred by people following a low calorie, low fat or low cholesterol diet. Unlike traditional home-made meat sausages, the casing is not made of intestine, but of plant based ingredients.〔(Tofu sausages ingredients list. This product is: purely vegetable | cholesterol-free | egg-free | lactose-free | free of milk protein | free of genetic engineering | manufactured without the addition of yeast extract. )〕 Vegetarian hot dogs are usually based on some sort of soy protein.〔(Vegetarian Journal May/Jun 2000 Guide to Burgers and Dogs – The Vegetarian Resource Group )〕 Some contain egg whites, which would make them unacceptable to lacto-vegetarians and vegans. There are also vegetarian hot dogs made from tofu. The history of the vegetarian hot dog is not clear, but Worthington Foods' Veja-Link meatless wieners claim to have been the world's first vegetarian hot dogs in 1949.〔(Worthington Foods, Inc )〕 On June 19, 2000, the Chicago White Sox made baseball history when they began selling vegetarian hot dogs during games at Comiskey Park.〔Greening the Ballpark. (vegetarian hot dogs in baseball parks) (Brief Article), ''Earth Island Journal'', September, 2001〕 In recent years, a number of other manufacturers have entered the vegetarian hot dog market. Cedar Lake Foods, which makes Deli Franks, Jumbo Franks, and Breakfast Sausage, is just one of many companies that now offer vegetarian hot dogs. ==See also== * 'Vegetarian sausage' section of the 'Sausage' article * List of meat substitutes * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Vegetarian hot dog」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
