If you don’t have a car and rarely eat red meat, you are doing GREAT 🙌🙌 🙌

Sure, you can drink tap water instead of plastic water. You can switch to Tea. You can travel by train. You can use Linux instead of Windows AI’s crap. Those are great ideas. But, don’t drive yourself crazy. If you are only an ordinary citizen, remember that perfect is the enemy of good.

    how’d you compare 'roo to beef in texture and taste

    it’s pretty gamey, so i wouldn’t say it’s a direct replacement… i do like a roo bolognese though: adds a bunch of depth

    imo roo steak is absolutely amazing though

    it’s very low fat, so you have to cook it fast and not well done etc otherwise it gets really tough really quickly

    oh also roo curries are incredible too!

    i’ve heard that roo it pretty close to venison in taste, but haven’t tried venison so not sure
