Our happy hour fact to amaze your drinking buddies with.

Vegetarians and vegans have weaker bones than those who eat meat.

Researchers from Australia and Vietnam tested 2,700 people with varied diets and found that the bones of vegetarians were 5 percent less dense than meat eaters and vegans' were 6 percent weaker. Adding eggs to a vegetarian diet seemed to make up for much of the gap.

The study did not determine if this discrepancy in bone strength would lead to increased injury, but the authors recommend resolution on that issue.

Just to be sure, we recommend consuming the maximum amount of bacon-dogs possible over this Fourth of July holiday. Basically, what you were already planning.
