>i doubt it, grass is still essential to the diet of cattle
I've been talking about two-legged cattle. Because I think, that the planet needs a reduction of their numbers, so starving a couple billions to death would be a cause that I support, and if switching to buckwheat would cause that, I think it would be a good idea.
btw, I think, that the secret of cows is, that they can split cellulose, i.e. make sugar from plantfibres, that to us would be as nutritious as paper. I think, that they eat the grains too, but these are not their main source of calories.
Maybe I'm wrong though, it's just what I heard when I was a child.
