                                Humans lack the enzyme cellulase, making what eating grass does to your body primarily an indigestible affair with potential health risks rather than a nutritional benefit. Your digestive system simply isn't equipped to process the tough, fibrous material that makes up grass blades, unlike grazing animals.
