hot dog buns go wheat

Sara Lee -- “global manufacturer” and 3rd largest bakery in the U.S. -- has been on a health kick: In 2001, it acquired Earth Grains; then, last December, it created a whole-grain line called "Sara Lee Heart Healthy" (it's also pushing the "Sara Lee" brand*). The newest in that line (so new, a press release hasn't been issued yet!): wheat hot dog buns. You've seen wheat hamburg buns -- but wheat hot dog buns? It almost doesn't go with the idea of hot dogs which is why it's great. For those who care (zzz), the buns have 2 grams of fiber and 10% of your daily dose of calcium. Paired with a turkey hot dog or a tofu dog, it's practically like eating vegetables.

*(It should love this posting, don't you think? Let's namedrop Pepperidge Farm so as to avoid looking like a total shill.)
