Now I have to eat kangaroos

BBC News

Whenever I go to a restaurant that serves buffalo, I have to get a buffalo burger. My reason for this is that in the regions were buffalo live, they are better for the environment than cattle. So by choosing buffalo over beef, I'm, hopefully, creating demand to shift ranches from cattle to buffalo production.

Now it seems that I should add kangaroos as a food I should always get if a restaurant serves it. Kangaroos produce much less methane than cattle so they're better for environment in terms of climate change. I would also imagine that they're better also for the local environment just like buffalo are. One problem though, I've never been to a restaurant that had kangaroo meat on the menu.
