Eating kangaroo burgers instead of beef could significantly cut greenhouse gas emissions, according to an Australian scientist.

Removing seven million cattle and 36 million sheep by 2020 and replacing them with 175 million kangaroos could lower national greenhouse gases by three per cent a year, Dr George Wilson from the University of New South Wales said.

It's better make a lot of people make a small change (kangaroo instead of beef) than make a few ones make a radical change.

It' very lean, a bit gamey but I think that's what I like about it. It's definitely healthier than beef due to it's low fat content.

It's not new news, its been written in essays on global warming for years.

You still believe that world hunger is caused by lack of food?
Food is there, it's just not free to transport it. Also, giving it away for free would lower its value, so companies won't do so. They'd rather burn it (which they do when it can't be sold).
If entire humanity became vegetarian, starving negroes would have even bigger problem, because nobody would send them food with proteins.

I still can't understand why those starving negroes don't eat all those grasshopper swams when so many Asians eat them.

It's free high protein food everywhere and they are worried with their grains?

I just searched it on wikipedia and they do eat them...

"In some countries in Africa, grasshoppers are an important food source, as are other insects, adding proteins, fat, minerals, and vitamins to the daily diet, especially in times of food crisis. Grasshoppers are usually collected at dusk, using lamps or electric lighting, in sweep nets. They are placed in water for 24 hours, after which they can be boiled or eaten raw, sun-dried, fried, flavored with onions, or used in soup. The "grasshoppers" eaten in Uganda and neighbouring areas are called nsenene, but they are in fact bush crickets, also called katydids.

In some countries in the middle-East, the Grasshopper is boiled in hot water with salt, then left in the sun to dry then it can be eaten like snacks type of meal."

Also seems like mexicans eat them too!

I chucked a grasshopper in the microwave one day and then ate it just to see what it tasted like. It wasn't that great. But then again, I didn't sufficiently prepare it.
