    There’s gotta be more to it than just an enzyme cellulose. Cows need 4 stomachs and chew their cud to digest that stuff.

      Well, yeah, bit it would still likely help gain some nutrition from something that would otherwise pass clean through you. Our poops would look more like horse turds than cow pies. Just dense barely digested grass.

          Nope. Just so that you don’t starve in a crisis. Grass tastes gross. ;)
