      I would be really surprised if most people average one a week. But that doesn’t mean it’s not happening.

        Yeah but does lunch meat count?

        I ate some pepperoni on pizza, that surely is doing damage.

      I think “hot dog” was used as an example here. A hot dog has around 50 grams of meat (1.8 oz).
