Eat 'Roo and Save the Planet
If there's one thing that cows are notorious for it's flatulence.
Did you realise that the average cow produces an impressive 280 litres of methane every day? No, nor did I but apparently it's true. As well as being the butt of many agricultural jokes all this methane makes a significant contribution towards global warming.
Scientists in Australia have suggested that methane emissions could be cut by replacing lamb and beef with kangaroo meat. Around 11% of all Australian carbon emissions originate from flatulating cattle and sheep.
Speaking of the benefits of kangaroo meat Dr George Wilson, of the Australian Wildlife Services (AWS), said: "It tastes excellent, not unlike venison - only a different flavour."
The AWS is keen to see production of kangaroo meat increased to rival the amount produced by conventional livestock.

I've had kangaroo before. The White Swan at Dinnington (near NCL airport) does it, and I believe also the Oak Inn at Alnwick.
It's very nice, somewhat 'bouncy' (chewy). My mate had ostrich - like steak that melts in the mouth!
Now i just feel hungry...
