A recent joint Australian-Vietnamese study found that people who eat meat have stronger bones, and who are we to question the Australians and Vietnamese?

According to the study, “vegetarians had bones five percent less dense than meat-eaters.”  It was even worse for vegans.

All this writing is making me hungry for some bone-strengthening meat.

We made quick friends over our respective blogs and Midwestern roots, then got to work at dissecting the special menu, which Plan Check will be featuring for the next month if anything tickles your fancy.
