"It's something different. It's something new. I like farming, and you poultry, do piggery...many people doing it. So I said...do something different. I like the ostrich. It's nice.

34. SOUNDBITE: (English) Lydia Castillo, food critic
"I know that because it's a fowl, it has less fat, and therefore it's safer for people who go on a diet. And then I have seen the raw meat, and there's not these stringy things that you find in some of the meat cuts that you have. It's not marbled, in the sense that it doesn't have an alternating fat within the flesh. So that's it. It's a healthy meat."
