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. ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

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.
