>"Living as wild animals for the last million years or so, we ate every seed
that was worth collecting, grass seed, legume (bean-like, pea -like, peanut
and others), and any other seeds that were sustaining and productive, or big
enough to be worth bothering with."
Our ancestors probably were rather smart and able already long ago, and
could probably choose the easiest and tastiest way to eat. Not bothering
with troublesome food unless it tasted very good.
Grass seed is not much to bother with, and only available for very short
periods anyway. Remember that wild grass seeeds fall to the ground as
soon as they are ripe.
