As living just gets more and more expensive I would like to ask you: Can human beings eat grass. A solution might provide poor people with a cheap product.

Grass is inedible because we lack the appropiate facilities to digest cellulose (this is why cows, for instance, need a coupla stomachs, and need to chew cud). Good roughage though, it just goes straight through.
Interestingly, the appendix - a completely useless bit of kit we have, used to serve that purpose (I think monkeys still have it functioning). But it's not terribly efficient.
We could, I suppose, genetically engineer poor people to be able to eat grass within a few generations.
And me with a lot of fun. I am all for it, but what about teh cows?Quote:

Cows only have one stomach BTW, it's just multi-chambered.
Instead of gaining to power to govern your imperialistic, warfare-selling, resource-exploiting, chaos breeder governments, it's a wiiiiiiiiiise idea to suggest the poor people eat grass.
Good Lord, please make a touch.
The best way to eat grass is to cook it into some butter, and then into brownies, cookies, or whatever. Then, once the munchies start to hit you, I don't even think that they do if you cook it -- Zorba, where are you? -- all you have to do is keep eating the grass in the cookies. Simple. Riotous. Fun.
I can solve the problem of world hunger through my company i set up, the Soylent company. We make food from bio-cultures, and nothing else, i assure you.
Tomorrow i'll be pleased to announce the release of new and nutritious Soylent Green!
You don't eat grass; you smoke it.
