Bullshit. It requires mechanical extraction. Compare that to other foods
which can be juiced by hand, e.g., citrus fruits.

Mechanical. How the hell do you think that mechanical juicer is made --
with rocks or sticks? They're made out of cast iron or other metals
which are heated to super high heats to melt them before the various
parts can be molded and forged. There are several levels of processing
from mining to forging to assembly required before your stupid grass is
ever juiced.

Guess again. You're so stupid you assume meat grinders appear
miraculously in stores so hippies like you can juice wheat and barley
grass. The processing of the juicer is required before you can process
the juice. You cannot leave out that process.

Which requires even more processing: extraction, drying, encapsulation, etc.
