How about parents just not be idiots and cut the hot dog up into small pieces for their children? The fact this is even an issue just shows how much common sense we've lost as a species. It's much better for parents to have the burden of responsibility than relying on the entire food industry to cater to their needs. Personally I don't think the food industry should be obligated to help parents be dumber and less engaged in their children's safety. If someone makes a "kid safe hotdog" will people buy it? Absolutely. My concern is it makes parents less aware of other risks of choking if they have an expectation that any food item for children has no choking risks. That is impossible. If your child scarfs down food without chewing they can choke on almost anything. As a parent it's your obligation and responsibility to prevent it.
