I looked around, and was wondering if this was right:
The leftover parts of the cow, referred to as 'mechanically-separated meat parts'. That can include butt meat, stomach, brains and intestines. They are shoved into the intestines of the cattle along with fillers, hydrogenated fat and starch. Chemical preservatives, salt and MSG are often added.
On the other hand, a tofu dog is just that and honestly, they taste better and if you brush them with a little oil and barbeque sauce, they taste great on the BBQ. So does vegetarian pizza with extra cheese and shrimp skewers with mushrooms and pineapple.

So what's your question?
Looks like you answered your own question.
Haven't you ever seen the great outdoors with John Candy?
He says exactly what's in them!

It's not right. Hot dogs are not made from beef unless the package states "All Beef". Butt meat is referred to as the "Round" which consists of the sub primal parts called "Top Round", "Eye of Round" and the "Bottom Round". All three of these subprimal parts are sell-able and do not go in to hot dogs. The stomach(s) of a steer, or cow, are sold as "Tripe" and are consumed by Asian and Latino cultures. The intestines are marketed as "Marrow Gut" and are sold in to the fore-mentioned ethnic sector as well. They are not used as casings for hot dogs because they are too large in diameter. Hog and Sheep casings (small intestines) are used for hot dogs but must be labeled "Natural Casing" when man made "Collagen casings" are not being used. A matter of fact, in most cases hot dags are sold in the skinless form (no casing, natural or man made). The brains are harvested and are considered a delicacy, often marketed to Latinos as "Seso's".

I have a feeling you are right. I know all the meat stuff is stuffed into the intestines but nothing else.

You've answered your own question. I don't eat hotdogs because of all the "waste" in them. I am not a vegetarian, however.
