| Australia Day - make mine marla - 25 January 12 |
If you are concerned about your health and the environment, the best choice of red meat protein is marla (kangaroo). Research shows that domestic meats are pro-inflammatory which may lead to all sorts of nutritional diseases. By comparison, game meats are far less inflammatory (5 biochemical markers were monitored before and after consumption of different meats). And if the environmental consequences of what we eat is important to you, marla is adapted to this country (sure, populations can explode in some areas at times) whereas sheep and cattle are not friendly to our ecosystem with respect to erosion or greenhouse effects.

How do smaller retailers get to their customers when the cost of advertising is prohibitive? And then there’s the truism; “Half of my advertising is worthwhile but I don’t know which half.”
We have managed to establish distribution of our Skews® which are my innovative herb and spice range delivered as infused wooden skewers. These are available in IGA supermarkets, Harris Farm outlets and the better quality butcheries and specialty ingredient stores.

Despite promotion of whole foods, organics or healthy food choices; the marketing of food pyramids; go, grow, glow food charts; 2 fruits and 5 vegetable campaigns; swags of nutritionists clogging government halls, supermarket PR departments and even McDonald’s spin teams, nothing is slowing the expansion of our collective girths. It’s a volume of lipid of biblical proportions sweeping over the planet like a pestilence of the past.
A simple cure might not be possible without significant change to our food supply or widespread surgical intervention. Obesity may need to be part of the carbon tax debate with individuals over a set BMI (body mass index) paying tax on their disproportionate contribution to green house gas emissions. That will be popular if it’s politically correct to even think it.
