沒錯~ 鴕鳥的肉在南非是常規美食，它的口感和味道都和牛肉差不多，看起來也像牛肉。

重要的是，鴕鳥肉的脂肪含量比牛肉少很多，大部分甚至零脂肪。

And the South African eat ostrich. Meat from this seven-foot African bird, unlike chicken or turkey, resembles beef in taste, coloring, and texture. It’s also leaner – 97-percent fat free – lower in cholesterol, and higher in iron than beef. And it’s more environmentally friendly than beef. Ostrich emits virtually no methane, which is the most destructive greenhouse gas, and cows’ burping and farting emit that. By incorporating ostrich into your diet, you’re doing way more to fight the cause of global warming than driving your car less, flying less, or taking shorter showers.
