I'll hear people call plant-based alternatives "fake burgers" and "fake hot dogs," but burgers and hot dogs, including both real and "fake" ones, are literally just manmade culinary creations.

Working within the carnist realm, what makes a dead cow hot dog equal in realness to a dead pig hot dog? What about dead bird hot dogs? How do they determine which of the flesh-based hot dogs is the benchmark for "realness?"
