Cows eat grass and have evolved to eat grass. They do not need to eat grain.

They don't need to, but in the world we live in, they eat a fucking lot of grain, bro!

The diet will say it is "50% grass" but it is not. That 50% is the stems etc.. from corn and whatever.

The obvious answer here is to transplant rumen into humans, thus cutting out the middle-cow.
