Carla replied: “The good thing about eating kangaroo is all the kangaroo on the shelves here are from wild populations. So they’re not farmed like chickens or cows.
“It’s a bit weird, isn’t it? But it’s a good source of protein. And I worked out quite a bit so my body needed that protein and energy.”
Another commented: “Did she just say kangaroo?”
A third said: “Lost it at kangaroo. My Aldi doesn’t sell kangaroo for sure.”
A fourth wrote: “So funny it all seems pretty normal until the kangaroo.”
Another added: “Unfortunately my local American Walmart doesn’t have Kangaroo.”
