Can kangaroos be eaten by people?
Yes. Kangaroos can be eaten by people.

Today, Red kangaroos and Grey kangaroos are harvested for their meat in areas where their population is very high. Kangaroo meat is apparently very healthful, lean, low in cholesterol and has less than 2% fat. It is high in protein and minerals, especially iron and zinc. Studies indicate that people who eat kangaroo meat in place of "normal" red meat have lower risk of damage to their cardiovascular system.Kangaroo meat is also exported overseas. The European market for kangaroo meat increased by 30 percent following the 2001 outbreak of foot and mouth disease on that continent - so it is not just Australians who eat kangaroo.
