Meat...

To be sustainable you shouldn't eat too much meat, even better, no meat, but than you need to know a bit more about how to complete your diet so I try to eat less meat, at least one day a week we don't have meat, but nowadays more often it's a few days a week I cook without meat and I know more about delicious substitutes.
But I love the tender kangaroo meat, even the minced meat is nice, and very healthy too. It's local and sustainable!

While first more than 70% of the culled kangaroo meat went to petfood now half of it is for human consumption.

All kangaroos are killed in their natural environment by licensed cullers, who operate under a quota set by the Federal Government.

About 12% of each year's population is culled, which means kangaroo numbers will never drop below replacement levels.

Ironically, the meat is not certified organic because kangaroos are everywhere, not just a testable area.
