WHAT'S GOIN' ON?

Trying to live a practical, but compassionate life towards all living creatures (animal, mineral, vegetable, humanable) without being a self-righteous ass.

Next up for corn--kangaroooo

Apparently you can save the planet by eating kangaroos instead of cows, because they produce less methane gas. As opposed to just... eating less meat in general? If there's some sort of Kangaroo Ranchers Association, I can only assume the dude recommending this (Dr Wilson of the Australian Wildlife Services) is *in their pocket*?
"Dr Wilson is keen to see that population dramatically increased to produce the same amount of kangaroo meat as that currently produced by conventional livestock."

Sooo take an industry that is probably already functioning at a reasonable level--at the kind of level other meat industries should be at--and make commercialize it further? Not cool, dude. Not cool.
