we’re not built to digest grass. Meat is made mostly out of proteins and fats with a few other components. We’re good there. We produce a variety of enzymes which do a great job of breaking those down into tiny bits and compounds our intestines can absorb.

Grass, on the other hand, is made largely of cellulose and other compounds which we are not able to digest. Indeed, it seems like pretty hard work to digest grass. The animals which do that have large, elaborate digestive systems which break down those hard-to-deal-with compounds. Their stomachs usually have multiple compartments where grass is fermented by bacteria to break it down into something the rest of the animal’s digestive system can deal with. And that’s digestive equipment we just don’t have.

Meat is easier to digest when compared to grass.

  This is because human have enzymes such as proteases that digest meat faster than that of grass.  

  Meat is main up of proteins and fat hence the digestive juices in the human intestine which contains a variety of proteases and lipases aid in easier digestion whereas, the grass is wholly made up of cellulose, "human beings do not have" celluloses to digest this complex protein.
