Fight Global Warming 2 : Eat Kangaroo
This is a bizarre contradiction to the “Fight Global warming : Become a Vegetarian” argument.
Apparently, Greenpeace urges kangaroo consumption to fight global warming.
Greenpeace energy campaigner Mark Wakeham urged Aussies to substitute some red meat for roo to help reduce land clearing and the release of methane gas from flatulent cattle and sheep.
So, we tried it out (Well .. I found it and convinced Kath that buying this was a good idea).
and on the plate
The Good things about eating Kangaroo:
- Tastes Good
- Apparently, is better for the environment
- Lean meat – About 2% Fat
- Reasonably cheap – $13 Kg, compared to Rump steak at $19 (Supermarket prices)
I found this originally via sentient developments (who happens to be a vegetarian!) but also caught the eye of writer Warren Ellis in “Death to Skippy“.
I’ve had it in restaurants before, but this is my first time cooking it. All in all, it was good. I’ll do it again .. and feel good that I am eating healthier and saving the environment (Rampant justification?).
