Can you eat too much grass?

What's a good starter dose?

Is killing life evolution?




We are the dominant primate because we killed the others that learned to walk and talk, so yes in a way it is evolution. We're better than our great ape relatives at everything, including murder and warfare.

If we were nice and peaceful some other group of apes would have us locked in cages wearing makeup and electrodes.

Sure we'll all be green, but then i guess we could survive with only sunlight.

that's what i'm wondering about. if we were all made of chlorophyll, and only required sunlight, would we still be able to do the things we do? or would we just be inanimate creatures and move according to the direction of the sunlight (same as plants)

would we still be able to operate our bodies in the mechanical/motorized fashion we do now? would we still be able to think like a human, live like a human, and be like a human, if we modified our genes to require a different source of sustenance?

we might become dryads, elf like beings. probably lose the use for technology and transfer over to entirely living in/around plants.

I used to eat grass when I was little sometimes, it tasted really gross though and my parents told me to stop eating it. Tastes kinda bitter or something if I remember.

I also went through a phase of licking everything when I was young. I would lick walls, peoples pants, peoples hands, etc. That was because I thought it was funny though rather than out of curiosity.


This is a good idea though assuming that grass has any sorts of nutrients to keep people alive, if somebody is starving to death than it's only logical to eat something and if grass can provide people with nourishment than the fact people don't eat it is questionable


Teamkiller once had the idea of taking videos of us eating platefuls of grass and uploading it to the Shroomery for the lulz, I wish I'd done that

We don't eat grass because a steak tastes way better.

And I spend too much time manicuring and mowing my lawn to fuck it up by eating it.

There are several reasons why this is not possible.

Humans would not be able process the amount of grass necessary to fuel normal metabolism. We'd be eating and shitting all day and still wouldn't be able to extract enough nutrients to maintain and grow.

Grass does not have enough protein in it nor does it have all the essential amino acids humans needs because they cannot be synthesized by the body. This is the reason why vegetarians need to supplement their diets with protein supplements or by adding nuts and beans into their diet.

Humans do not have the necessary enzymes like cellulase to sufficiently break down large amount of plant matter.

Our stomachs are not physiologically capable of processing large amounts of vegetation. For example cows have four stomachs in order to process such large amount of vegetation.

Humans have evolved to eat the most nutrient dense foods like meat, eggs, andfruits and vegetables are needed in smaller quantities for vitamins and minerals compared with the macromolecules like protein, carbs, and fats that are needed in higher amounts to fuel metabolism.

There's also the fact that a lot of grass people step all over and whatnot, but as a last resort for starvation it would be as legitimate an option as any other I'd assume.

But I don't think there's grass in most places where people starve to death, that usually happens in more desert areas I believe
