Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Lignin can be hard to break down by human stomachs. Not only that, but the lignin in food can actively inhibit the access nutritional benefits of other types of digestible fiber

Your dentist would not be pleased; grass contains a lot of silica, an abrasive which quickly wears down teeth. Grazing animals have teeth that are adapted to continually grow, replacing the worn tooth surfaces quickly

Man, why can't our teeth constantly grow? Chewing on wood is fun; it should also be useful. 😩

Wait! Wait! Don't Tell Me recently referenced a study where the results of chewing on wood made you smarter (a reduction of the real article, I'm sure)!

Highlight of my life is seeing Wait Wait at wolf trap with my son and my partners grandparents and dad.

4 generations of us laughing our asses of to a “late night” variant. So good.

It would be a bit of a pain. I see it with bird and terrapin beaks and claws. If they don't have something to wear them down they become problematic. I know the thought is well I will just keep them warn down but I bet it would be like staying in shape or for that matter keeping our teeth in good shape as it is, which many folk don't do.

There’s usually just a handful of dangerously poisonous plants in any given area. If you learn those then most other stuff should be safe-ish.

Except for all the parasite eggs she's eating

Not really a thing in my area, excepting aquatic plants. Can’t speak to the whole world.

Unless by your area you mean a place that doesn't have plants in the first place because it's entirely paved over, I promise you that there are animals that will shit parasite eggs onto the grass, and children are particularly vulnerable because they both do dumb things like eat grass and have weaker immune systems.

Pinworms, for example, are basically everywhere, even if most parasites are tropical. They're so pervasive they're even noted for not following typical affluence infection rates.

First, pinworms only cause mild illness. My point was your child won’t die from eating random plants with a few exceptions that are easy to learn.

Second, pinworms are not spread by animals, only human to human. I don’t think eating plants is likely to be a vector.

Okay then, feed your kids all the grass they want.

Thank you! That's all I wanted to hear.
