Kangaroo Meat

Wednesday, June 11th, 2008

Some people don’t like eating an animal that appears on the nation’s coat of arms. Knowing that they’re in abundance, tasty and environmentally sustainable convinces me that just because they’re a national symbol doesn’t mean they need to go to waste.

Most of the time I buy organic meat, but lately I’ve been buying some from the supermarket since I found kangaroo mince and sausages there. It’s cheap, low-fat, Australian, sustainable and good for the environment - if you’re a meat-eater, what more could you want?
