Cows have four stomachs and rechew their food for hours for a reason. Leafy greens are not proper food. (Plus, they're full of toxins, both from pesticides and from the plants trying to kill anything that eats them, and tasting as horrible as possible to dissuade animals from eating them.)

The only edible parts of the plant are fruits, which are intended for animals to eat them so that they'll spread the seeds.

If you live in the Pleistocene, maybe. The rest of us have domesticated plants.

Still made of undigestable cellulose, toxins, and whatever chemical horrors we've sprayed on top to kill any insect that has managed to evolve a resistance to said toxins.

Fruit is also made of cellulose. All plant cells are.

You’re a loony

Fruit is mostly sugar and water. That's the food. The cellulose is just the container; you don't need to digest that, you just shit it with the seeds.

lmao what the fuck? leafy greens are fine, great even because they're basically just fibre and vitamins which most people need way more of.

yeah, you're not going to get your caloric or protein requirements from spinach, but you should absolutely eat as much leafy greens as you can stomach alongside the spaghetti and meatballs.
