You Can Eat Camels, Too

Here’s another camel business idea: This time, they’re being used for meat in Australia.
Business owners and environmentalists in Australia are promoting camels as a source of meat to battle an explosion of the country’s camel population.
The Daily Telegraph said Tuesday that environmentalists support the stance of business owners like Garry Dann, whose slaughterhouse in Australia’s Northern Territory has added camel meat to its production line.
“I know blokes who all their lives have meat for breakfast, lunch and tea, and they wouldn’t know the difference between camel meat and beef,” Dann said.
“Camels can handle Australia’s dry conditions and they are a good source of low cholesterol protein,” he added.

I have never even thought of eating camel meat, but if it tastes just like beef, it’s low in cholesterol and there is an over abundance of camels, then i don’t see why that would not be a viable idea and concept. I just wonder how long it will take people to get over the thought that it is a camel they are eating.
