Human primate non-ruminant plant cellulose digestion?

Asked by delirium (13718points) December 12th, 2009 from iPhone

If plant cellulose is so hard to digest and we are not ruminants, why can we eat (biological) vegetables? It’s not domestication we can eat dandelion greens, which had been my first thought.
