A really good post by Pen, and you know, even the stuff about minding what you eat and eating less meat is appropriate because both where you get your meat from and what kind of meat you eat can make a big difference.
You don't have to stop eating meat to help the environment. For example, instead of beef (which ended up costing 30 bucks for some fillets which is outrageous) my Mum bought kangaroo fillets which can be prepared just the same as beef and is actually better for you - less fat, more iron. If it served native Australians for 40000 years I think it can do us some good too. It's a bit like turkey, a bit like beef, I couldn't really tell what I was eating when I first tried it. It's a new taste so it might weird some people out but it's good stuff and it is good for you. Kangaroo is not just for cats and dogs. It's also much better for the environment because:
- Kangaroos don't fart methane or breathe it out
- Kangaroos require less grass and vegetation for survival than do cows
- They also need far less water.
For Australia that is incredibly important to our resources.

Date: 2007-03-05 08:27 am (UTC)I have never eaten much meat.... BUT I love kangaroo meat, it is so tender and tastey, I dont think its gamey at all.
You MUST try the mini roasts.. my god theyre soooo tender, make sure u cook as suggested (15 min in covered tray, 15 min uncovered and then out of oven and wrapped for 15 min) Ive never had such lean tasty tender meat before!!!!
It is much more enviro friendly to eat roo meat - and they dont clear forests and bushland to grow roos - they already exist and are thriving because of our shitty farming practices.
I think ppl have to get over the whole 'skippy' thing --- I mean how many people eat COW meat yet how many millions of ppl consider cows sacred around the world?????
Besides all that, its full of goodness and so lean well and YUMMMMI!!!
