How do you know, they preferred kangaroo? You should be close to them, down under. May I suggest a test? Just try to live on kangaroo only for 2-3 weeks. I bet you'll not stand it without adding some fat from beef or else. The same time on yams or tubers will be boring but sustaining. Before you do the 3 week test, be warned, it could be fatal. Rabbit starvation is protein toxicity. There will be kangaroo starvation too. >eating 2 lbs of potatoes daily is a recipe for hyperinsulinemia if you have >northern european ancestry.
