Eating grass

[Sirius]

My cat, an obligate carnivore, loves to eat grass, of course she regurgitates it up right away. But what is it from the grass that we crave or makes us want to eat it?

Probably sugar, the bottom bit is nice to chew, the rest tastes like grass..

So look, the grass is kind of the start of my memories and I found it humorous that a connection can be made to the NHI topic.  Things went south after that, I started writing a short story about it here on the forum.  You won't like what you find in this rabbit hole.

Nope, my cat only eats the top grass part, no where near the bottom/root part, so that isn't it.

Anyway, eating grass seems to the furthest thing in terms of advancement with NHI to my mind.

Where is your short story?

Maybe grass is for touching, not eating.

Last year I drove cross country and stopped at rest area in each state along the way. I would take off my shoes and wiggle my toes in the grass at each one while I rested from driving. It felt nice. I wanted ground contact with each state. Made the trip feel more, I dunno, real. I avoided dog poop of course.

Don't eat roadside grass, kids. Important health and safety tip.

I had a friend who jarred his own honey. The bees would collect grass pollen from fields near his house. He lived near an airport. His honey tasted slightly of jet fuel.

Fuck it. Eczema, alopecia, Vitiligo, tinnitus.

If government black-ops are the "man behind the curtain", I imagine an even-more-hidden group or entity pulling their strings, making even what is hidden a "marionette behind the curtain". I suspect eczema, alopecia, and vitiligo may be syndromes actually caused by that entity's covert physiological or genetic manipulations, and tinnitus as having psychotronic origins. The way that such maladies -- as well as phenomena such as gang-stalking, bizarre childhood trauma, and mkultra-like experiences -- seem to follow families and cohorts internationally and intergenerationally seems to point to an almost inconceivably large and established human experimentation agenda for which what we perceive as "governments" may only be a mask. Or, on a more abstract level, this manifestation may simply be the configuration of a projection, pointing more deeply and profoundly, beyond a deceptive reality, to just exactly who and what we are.

Should I now play the self-discreditation game, and mention that I've not only eaten grass, I've smoked it too? Naah. Unnecessary.

I am not fixated on any one thing, rather I'm looking at scientific explanations relating to cravings and/or health conditions.

I recall reading that they hadn't been able to find any correlation between cravings for specific foods and actual nutrient deficiencies besides simply being hungry or thirsty.  It was from the last few years.

Here is an interesting finding from one study: AI search -
 Craving studies in addiction

• Studies have shown that people with substance use disorders (SUD) experience higher cravings than people without SUD
  

But, other AI searches mentioned cravings linked to emotional states in relation to dopamine levels or getting a rush, so this somewhat connects SUD, if we are looking at emotions/dopamine desired fixes.

This is not 2012, this is not ATS.  Stop the knee jerk reactions, investigate the information you are given.

The legend goes you are given something to eat, the patch of grass never existed, the memory is false.

It is a conspiracy forum, not reaction content.

Some people get it, the rest reveals themselves.

@Ravenwatcher Well, Wheatgrass is already marketed as a superfood.

When I was in Canada, a wellness place grew it in their shop, cut it and made fresh juice shots.

:beer:

There's lemongrass too, good for anti-inflammation and makes a nice tea. There's a few edible grasses especially when they're shoots.

Lignan would be a source of fiber in a pinch, I imagine sometimes it's the reason dogs eat the stuff.

Interesting thread, I've heard about not eating food on the other side or accepting food from Fae. Never heard much about grass. They are associated with meadows...

I seem to remember something about grass being a super-succeeder in terms of evolution... The stuff is everywhere just like us. It generally outcompetes everything it grows with which is an interesting point when linking it with nature spirits and the likes.

Okay, then here's an elbow-jerk reaction:
- Past life memories as an herbivore?
- Awakening empathic intuition of food-chain life experience?
- Guilt about non-vegetarianism sublimating into metaphor?

I'm also somewhat reminded of Terrance McKenna's talking about "the mushroom" as an entity, as well as a food and organism, like some sort of fungal trinity. Maybe grasses have something similar going on? I bet cows and other grazers have a deep relationship there. Look how we use the word "ruminate" both to refer to thinking and vomiting up chewn grass for another go.
