All-Star Game attendees encouraged to eat Cured Meats for Healthy Heartbeat

trent-loos Baseball, hotdogs and a clear conscience, now that’s a home run. Medical research shows hot dogs and other cured meats offer health benefits so if you are in the St. Louis, MO area for the All Star game or plan on fueling yourself with the mandatory hotdog while viewing from home, this couldn’t come at a better time.

“Those attending this year’s All-Star game should enjoy a hot dog during the game knowing that it takes cured meats for healthy heartbeats,” said Trent Loos, a sixth generation farmer/rancher and founder of the Faces Of Agriculture.

To tell the story of the health benefits associated with cured meats, Loos has hired a mobile media truck to drive around St. Louis on the day of the All-Star game with a billboard that simply reads, “Cured Meats for Healthy Heartbeats”. The mobile billboard will feature a young consumer enjoying a tasty and “healthy” hot dog, he said.

Nothing goes together like baseball and hot dogs, and with a growing body of medical evidence that suggests dietary nitrates – like those commonly found in hot dogs – are vital to the prevention of heart disease, attendees at the 2009 Major League Baseball All Star Game July 14 in St. Louis, MO, are being encouraged to enjoy both.

I was going to eat one anyway Trent, but now maybe I will enjoy two.
