Diet Danger: Pigs in a Blanket

Diet Danger: Pigs in a Blanket

With crescent roll dough and hot dogs as its two main ingredients, this party appetizer is like wrapping trans fat and white flour around nitrates and excess sodium! Sounds delicious, doesn't it? If that doesn't do it for you, how about tucking a slice of American cheese or a piece of bacon inside? Pigs in a blanket are fake, processed food at its finest.
