After seeing some clips from Fast Food Nation and the report on Nightline, I am firmly committed to buying my ground beef from my local organic farm. And going to the restaurants that I know make their own hamburger on premises. As for hot dogs, I only eat the ones that are Kosher.

There is no fixed specification for hot dog meat, with pork and beef being the most popular. Less expensive hot dogs typically contain chicken, due to the low cost and availability of mechanically separated chicken, and some pork. Hot dogs are generally regarded as unhealthy insofar as most have high sodium, fat and nitrate content. Contents can also be questionable, with cheaper types of hot dogs having been known to contain snouts, ears, and blended organs. In recent years, due to changing dietary preferences in the U.S., manufacturers have turned to turkey, chicken, or vegetarian meat substitutes as well as lowering the salt content.
Kosher hot dogs
A kosher hot dog is one made in accordance with Jewish dietary laws, which include a ban on pork. Most fillers, such as dairy powders used to extend or flavor the meat, also cannot be used. As with some other commercially-prepared Kosher foods, these ingredient restrictions and greater confidence in oversight of production facilities attract a significant non-Jewish market that perceives Kosher hot dogs to be healthier than other hot dogs.

Hot dogs are made up of anything from pig. I wouldn't suggest eating too many hot dogs unless they are organic or something, because pigs are really dirty animals.
I have also wondered about fast food meat. I have no idea what it is made up of since it looks and taste so fake; that is why I try ordering things with chicken, not beef.

The FDA allows food preparers to allow a lot of junk in the foods they serve. From bugs and their shells to dirt, hair and other icky substances. Hot dogs unless they are Hebrew National(kosher) usually contain all the crummy stuff and more that I mentioned and the U.S. government with the FDA's approval allows this.
