Unsupported statements of fact are better, but not great “Just realize there are a host of environmental and ethical problems with kangaroo meat anyway”, got a reference on that Shanti?

We have the canines, incisors and molars of meat and vegetable eating omnivores. We can process the proteins and fats into meat into useful energy. Is meat the only way to get that? No. Is meat easy and flavoursome? Yes. Is lots of meat bad for us? Yes.

Kangaroo is tasty when prepared right, but that is a different way to most popular meats with high fat content (hot fat and oil carries flavour). It doesn’t work as burgers or sausage, because they rely on high fat content for texture as well as flavour.

Coles sells marinated roo steak and kebabs which are cheaper than the other meats except the cheap low quality cuts. There is not a large supply as skippy is too cute for many and cooking it is probably too hard for many others so they are put off by first efforts.

I think the RSPCA has reviewed and supports the current commercial harvesting method by professional shooters (not the half-arsed beer swilling yobo’s often portrayed as “roo shooters”).

Please note that livestock also is environmentally damaging in that it is inefficient- we generally hvae to farm food to feed the livestock we eat. Look to your biology courses for why it’s inefficient to eat other animals (or a physics course, if you want the real basics). The basics of it is degrees of seperation from your energy source. If your food passes through an animal and you eat the animal, some of the energy goes to the animal.

I am also curious as to the source for the multiple claims that basically stated “we’re supposed to eat meat.” I will not argue that we are capable of eating meat to some degree, but I would argue the that we’re “supposed to,” as that’s just a vague claim. I’ve also heard the claim that humans are “supposed to” do whatever they want with the earth. What’s the basis for “supposed to”?

So, back to the topic at hand. Kangaroo meat is more environmentally friendly than cow’s meat, so power to you for making the switch. Just realize there are a host of environmental and ethical problems with kangaroo meat anyway, so if you’re already altering your life style, consider at least a few vegetarian meals a week. (There may or may not be health problems associated with kangaroo meat, I’ve not read any specific study).

As for making the whole earth vegetarian, I thought we agreed it was one step at a time? I recommend you try a few vegetarian meals a week. If you’d like to look into it, I’d love to see an article on the impacts of eating vegetarian one day a week (so three meals).

But seriously, it is a straight swap for beef – anything that works with beef works with kangaroo. It’s these little steps in the right direction that make the larger, harder ones (like driving smaller cars) easier to sell to the general public.

In certain parts of the country, they are in pest proportions and need to be culled. Do I see a steak out of that? No.

Kangaroo is also a superior and lean meat compared to beef.

Plus they wear jackets, steal money and you can ride about in their pouches.

I’m serious. I’ve eaten it, and it is extremely gamey and tough. No thanks.
