Comments on: Save the Planet — Eat Kangaroo! https://blog.speculist.com/environment/save-the-planet.html Live to see it.

transplant the digestion-aiding bacteria from the guts of kangaroo into the guts of cows.

There are probably other ways beef can be improved via genetic engineering. For example, make it high in Omega-3 fat.

But when vat meat gets good, harvesting animals for food will be incredibly inefficient by comparison.

I eat soy-protein (whatever it is) I eat Tempeh. I eat bison. I eat eggs. I am very fortunate to have the luxury of eating all these things. If they make a tank-grown meat-like substance that tastes like beef (or chicken, or tuna, or macaroni and cheese), I’ll eat that too.

If we really want to talk about the disgusting things Americans eat, let’s talk about high-fructose corn syrup or brominated vegetable oil (both are highly represented in Mt.Dew, for example)

I enjoy taking overseas friends to good restaurants in Sydney for Kangaroo. Even here in Australia a lot of people are not aware that when well prepared Kangaroo is a great eating experience. It can be as good as top quality beef. And very nice accompanied with a glass of Aussie Shiraz. Unfortunately a lot of country people see Kangaroo as vermin and some Americans see them as cute.
