I can see how your feeble brain cell would stumble upon consideration of
all the processes involved to get a little bit of juice from a whole lot
of inputs. You only want to look at the grass (as usual). The processing
of the juice is much more complex than your brain cell can grasp because
such processing has to include all the inputs required and not just the
grass. Just the mechanical grinder/juicer requires extensive processing:
mining, melting, casting, forging, etc. Without it, no grass juice.

No, you're building yet another strawman.

I'm not freaked, you freak. You challenged Rick and made the foolish
claim that "no extensive processing is needed" to get nutrients from
grasses. I've explained why you're wrong. In order to get nutrients from
grasses, ore must be first mined and processed into mechanical devices
which can extract said nutrients. You get no nutrients from the grass if
that manufacturing process is skipped. Chewing on it -- your fall back
position -- won't return the number of calories it takes to chew cud in
the first place.

Your poor little brain cell must be having such a difficult time.

Strawman.

Non sequitur. You're avoiding the discussion of all the steps of
processing juice from grasses, and looking like a feeble ass doing it.

It's not a question of being bad, it's just an appropriate response to
your ridiculous claim that "no extensive processing is needed" to get
nutrients from grass.

Ask yourself that question after re-reading your statement about how "no
extensive processing is needed" a few times. Dumb ass.
