The hotdog reference is to rationalize the amount of processed meat. If someone has bacon/sausage in the morning, and processed meat on a sandwich (fast food) they are already at the equivalent of 2+ hotdogs. Many parts of the country don’t have adequate access to fresh food for dinner either.

Think of a graph with "amount consumed" along the x-axis and "risk of harm" on the y-axis. "No safe amount" means the graph always rises as you move to the right. Contrast this with the graph for alcohol, which is "J"-shaped; it actually dips below the axis initially, before rising constantly.

You can relax and little on this one. Nature Medicine is still peer reviewed. It's not a govt pub. Similarly, the paper does not draw any such conclusion. Perhaps there's a hotdog fanatic at CNN who eats several hotdogs daily who drew this conclusion.

I was already relaxed. Oscar-Mayer found out that when they removed the sodium preservatives, the cherry powder replacement tasted awful, and people stopped buying their hot dogs (myself included). New Coke thinking confirmed. Same idiotic thinking in that article, same New Coke result.

Obviously that term has blurry "fringes" as it is a definition for how foods are handled to be able to be sold in grocery stores. The study and headline does say PROCESSED MEATS, and the study's definition includes SUGAR-SWEETENED and TRANS-FATTY ACIDS. It does not use your vague definition.
