Eating kangaroos could help fight global warming

SYDNEY (AFP) - An offbeat suggestion that Australians should eat kangaroos instead of cattle and sheep has been given a scientific stamp of approval by the government's top climate change adviser.

The belching and farting of millions of farm animals is a major contributor to Australia's greenhouse gas emissions, Professor Ross Garnaut noted in a major report to the government on global warming.

Kangaroos, on the other hand, emit negligible amounts of methane gas...http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/australiaclimatefoodkangaroosoffbeat

All together now:
Tie me Kangaroo down, sport
Tie me Kangaroo down...etc.

8. probably will.

moderate meat eating wasn't killing the world. excessive meat eating and indrustrialization of the meat industry however is.

9. Roo Bars

A lot of cars have a roo bar installed up front, since kangaroos tend to smash cars often. I certainly swerved around plenty of dead roos on the roadside during my pedal up the coast.

For some reason I was never tempted to eat one of them.

10. Kangaroos, on the other hand, emit negligible amounts of methane gas

Which is more than I can say about me and my brothers...

12. But what would happen to all the cows?

If everyone all of a sudden stopped eating cattle and sheep and started eating kangaroos, what ever would we do with all the cows and sheep?

Sound like a familiar argument, anyone? ;)

13. Eat them up! Then start raising bison!

Takes the place of both cattle AND sheep!

:7

Seriously though, bison yarn (aka bison wool) is good stuff.
And I will admit a fondness for bison meat.

[flvegan]

14. Bison yarn?

So now you're suggesting that bison can knit? That's just foolish.

:popcorn:

16. Ok, so they have a tendency to make sweaters with four arms

but that gives you choices for which arm hole to use!

More choices is good!

17. Don't be silly

...but they are great storytellers.

[unpossibles]

18. or people could, you know....

.... eat a more moderate and reasonable amount of meat, or just cut it out of their diets entirely if they chose.

I know, it's crazy talk.
