He's da boss!
Although I think the one next to him pushed him away when the food came out.
Cool pics, thanks! What do they do with the kangaroos? Typically ranch animals in the U.S. are kept for some combo of milk, meat, wool, or labor. It's hard to imagine roos fulfilling any of those roles.
I live in southern California, and we have some ostrich, emu, and alpaca ranchers in the rural areas of the county.

I'd want to have a dance-off with one of those chill roos.... I wonder if the trigger word for a deadly dance confrontation is in german or something like "krikey!"

So do you milk the kangaroos or eat kangaroo eggs or something?

I have a baseball glove made from Kangaroo leather. Much softer than cow leather.
Also, camels always look like they are having a great time. Strikes me as a no nonsense animal.
Those kangaroos like so comfy. They're just lounging!

Yeah too bad the eggs only come scrambled.
that last picture is amazing I didn't know Australia had grass, I always see it as a big field of red looking clay
I would love to eat an ostrich egg for breakfast. Over easy. With all the other good breakfast stuff. Bacon hash browns etc. it would be hard to finish. Maybe impossible. But it's on my bucket list.
I've had kangaroo before, it's surprisingly close to the taste of beef. So close you may not even know the difference if someone doesn't tell you.

In a similar vein, I've had ostrich meat. Tastes like bbef, only less greasy. I find that most exotic meats just end up tasting like beef or chicken. As red meats go, it's tough to beat a good buffalo.

Everything tastes like chicken, doesn't it?

I've always felt this might be because people always have chicken soup which is solely a chicken flavor when they have nasal congestion, or a cold or sick with something.

I went to a free range farm about a month ago to buy some fresh chickens. I saw these little guys and I got hungry for some goat taco's.

I try not to eat animals based on how good they taste.
Because doing so is feeding an unnecessary mental demand for satisifaction. Where the true purpose of consumption is thwarted; that being the need to recharge.
I just don't eat animals.

Haha, thanks. It's nice to have someone just say that. I spent time in Texas and usually the responses were quite a bit different.
Just some anti-oxidants and sometimes something like hemp or flax oils for omega 3s. I probably should take some others just to make absolutely sure that I've getting everything I should, but I generally have a pretty balanced diet with plenty of leafy greens and a wide spectrum of colored vegetables. It's actually really easy to get everything you need on a vegetarian diet if you eat more healthy and balanced. The problem is that many vegetarian diets are people who don't do any research into it and don't exactly eat much healthier than fast food.

I've been a vegetarian myself, since about 2002. (And also lived in Texas, but that was only for three years...) Get a little protein anxious once in a while, but I eat a lot of edamame, legumes, and have soy milk on my breakfast cereal.
In some ways I think the influx of tech workers from Asia has increased the demand for vegetarian options. More and more grocery stores carry veggie options in pre-packaged meals, like the Amy's line, or various Indian dishes. There are also a lot of dishes that work fine when done as vegetarian, like risotto and chili.
Making me hungry...

That's funny, because it's pretty darn easy to do both. Sounds like they didn't know how to make good vegetarian foods and relied heavily on salt and dairy to make it better tasting.

Thai food is a godsend as is Trader Joe's. And it's fun to experiment with different vegetarian dishes. If you like Risotto, try making it with Soyrizo, a little lime, a little cilantor, and vegan sour cream. It's tasty.
I forgot about Thai! Love their soups... I used to work in Bellevue (Seattle suburb), and there was a pho restaurant walking distance from the office that had a whole vegetarian menu. Kind of like a McDonalds that offered veggie burgers, I suppose. :))
My favorite risotto recipe is wild mushroom risotto, substituting mushroom or vegetable broth for the chicken stock, and plenty of fresh thyme cooked with the mushrooms before adding them to the rice mixture. I'm not vegan, so I do still eat dairy once in a while, especially pecorino romano in risotto. I'll have to give your recipe a try!

Pho is Vietnamese ;) I'm sure you know that though. I lived in Seattle for a while and that's the thing I miss the most, all the amazing vegetable pho you could get. The Thai food wasn't bad there either, though most places (I'm looking at you In The Bowl) couldn't make curries spicey enough for me. And if you wanted pizza, Pizza Pi had some awesome vegan pizzas. I also miss the farmers market and how easy it was to find kohlrabi.
That risotto sounds awesome. The last risotto I made before the soyrizo risotto (which was for an italian/french/mexican fusion dinner I did) was a beet risotto that was also tasty.

This has got to be the most depressing philosophy of life that I have ever heard. It's some perversion of asceticism, but without forbearance of all food, just a forbearance of enjoyable food. I reject such a philosophy as ridiculous, and instead follow the way of the Buddha, Jesus Christ, and Muhammad who all rejected asceticism for an epicurean way of life. All saw that every meal is a chance to savor and enjoy life, rather than as a means to merely "recharge". The Buddha found enlightenment in a bowl of rice milk. Jesus Christ drank wine and danced at weddings. The Muslims believe that so long as you obey G*D's dietary law (i.e., the halal dietary restrictions), you should endeavor to enjoy every meal since it is a glimpse of the eternal rewards of pleasure awaiting in heaven, which should be celebrated here on Earth.
The philosophy of Epicurus is often understood to mean "Eat, Drink and Be Merry for You May Die Tomorrow." And while this is part of it, true Epicureanism can be summarized thusly:
It is impossible to live a pleasant life without living wisely and well and justly, and it is impossible to live wisely and well and justly without living a pleasant life. To live a pleasant life, one must seek neither to harm others nor to be harmed by others. One should further seek to live in obscurity, and to get through life without drawing attention to oneself, and to live without pursuing glory or wealth or power, but anonymously, enjoying little things like food, and the company of friends.
Dude, he just said not to make this into a religion debate/discussion. Lets talk more about kangaroo eggs.
They don't lay eggs.
One had a joey and it went in and out of the mother's pouch.
Did you know human meat has one of the highest protein to weight ratios of all meats?
