Save the world: Eat a kangaroo!

[unixronin]

Switching from beef to kangaroo burgers could significantly help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, says an Australian scientist.

The methane gas produced by sheep and cows through belching and flatulence is more potent than carbon dioxide in the damage it can cause to the environment.

But kangaroos produce virtually no methane because their digestive systems are different.

How are they at being bred and ranched? To satisfy the meat diet of America (and the emerging economies of the world) we need to be able to raise large quantities of the beasties.
