Eating kangaroo is not illegal in the US as previously posted.
Kangaroo is a meat eaten in many places all over the world. It is a red meat like beef and is very high in protein but low in fat making it one of the better red meat choices.
In Altlanta I believe you can get it in Star Provissions, Altanta Farmers Market and Morningside Farmers Market.
Kangaroo is most commonly found in the form of steaks, but can also be found as burgers.
It is best cooked using quick methods such as pan frying, grilling or on the BBQ.
Further information and correction:
The only thing illegal about kangaroos in the US or anywhere else is the keeping of them as pets. Anyone who sells kangaroos or wallabies overseas is, in effect, flouting Australian law by exploiting them for commercial purposes.
Note that kangaroo meat is NOT a farmed meat in Australia, or anywhere else. Australian kangaroo meat is harvested from wild populations by licensed hunters. The animals are currently not farmed (as of 2014) although there has been some investigation into the feasibility of farming them. Kangaroo harvesters must have a licence and pass a Government approved course where they are given instruction in laws controlling kangaroo harvesting, meat hygiene and animal welfare.

I don't think you can because until recently items made of kangaroo couldn't be sold in the United States let alone the meat.

Kangaroo meat has never been "widely consumed" in Australia, except by the indigenous people before British settlement. Kangaroo meat is gaining more prominence, as it is a more healthful meat than stock meats. Supermarkets and butchers readily supply kangaroo meat to consumers.

Yes. Kangaroo meat is particularly healthful, with potential anti-cancer and anti-diabetes properties, as well as helping reduce the incidence of obesity and high blood pressure. In addition, kangaroo meat is very lean, being low in cholesterol and with less than 2% fat, while 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.
