Kangaroo is good for you

Eating “Skippy” for lunch may not be everyone’s idea of a pleasant evening meal, but according to experts, the meat from the kangaroo is healthier than most other meats and therefore could be a great addition to the meat eater’s diet.

It is not only people who could benefit from eating kangaroo, the planet does too. This is because the meat from a kangaroo is more environmentally friendly than beef or lamb. This is because of the emissions that the sheep and cows give off from eating all of that grass.

But although kangaroo is a popular dish around the world, the Australian government’s plans to promote the eating of this meat in Australia has not gone down so well. Whether it is down to the fact that they just don’t like it or they do not want to eat a national symbol, kangaroo is not at the top of the aussie menu, yet.
