Heh, never had kangaroo steak. Here in the good ol' American midwest, it's all about the beef, or occasionally, buffalo/bison. Just had good beef steak tonight....mmm. I love using the grill now that I'm back home and the weather's good enough.
Well, listen to what your body's telling you. If you're craving red meat, there's probably a good reason. Particularly if you're a woman--so many women are afraid to eat red meat because of the fat content (never mind that we're supposed to have a little bit of chub rather than looking creepily like twelve-year old boys) but they could really use the iron it provides, plus the protein. Even the fats, if the meat's trimmed down a bit, are good--they're necessary for body maintenance.
I'm pretty sure I did my whole rant on the biological/paleontological evidence of humans as specifically engineered for omnivorous life a while ago on your journal, so you know my feelings on the idea that we're made to need meat. I've used that on militant vegetarians a few times, and they usually get all quiet.
Sorry, I just can't get all excited about tofu. ;-)
By the way, I love parsley too. That stuff's great.
