Ostrich won't fly. Why? The bird is too darn big. The latest red meat trend - ostrich - now has found its way into meat sticks, a la beef jerky. Ostrich is marketed as a high-protein snack for competitive athletes, fitness buffs, or those seeking a healthy lifestyle. Ostrich has more protein than skinless chicken breast, is lower in fat than turkey breast, and has more iron than lean beef.
