In spite of misinformation on vegetarians not getting "enough" protein, I get all I need (45-75g/day) eating tofu, lentils, nuts, veggies and fruit. I personally feel we don't need the protein we are told we need. There is such a thing as too much protein. It's hard on kidney and liver, too.0

I've never seen kangaroo meat in local stores here in California. I took a look online and found a place that sells it. It is expensive!
Kangaroo loin is $122 for 4 pounds and ground meat is $185 for 10 pounds.
Does it taste gamey or wild?
As a teenager, I went to a family reunion in the Midwest where they served venison burgers. I thought they were regular beef burgers that had gone bad. It wasn't until after I discretely tossed mine in the trash that I learned it was actually fresh meat from a deer shot by an uncle.
I'm a Southern California girl. Our meat doesn't come from animals. It's all from the back room of the butcher department in the grocery store. ;-)0 -
