Would you eat kangaroo

A goverment advicer on climate change urges people to eat kangaroo steaks and ditch beef and lamb steaks to protect the earth from global warming. Well I couldn't help reading this article because I was curious to know what holds this claim. The article is based on a recent report which states the live stocks like cows and sheep produce a large amount of methane and, kangaroos, compared to farming cattle and sheep, produce no methane thanks to their digestive system. In this view, kangaroos get a wonderful point to be the substitute for the beef or lamb. Perhaps in Australia it is easy to get a piece of kangaroo meat. Here in the bay area, even though I want to save the planet, I don't know where to go to get the kangaroo meat. Besides, is the report a way to increase the export of the kangaroo meat for Australia?
