If I ingested a bunch of cellulase and started eating grass, leaves, etc. wouldn't that be sufficient to breakdown the cellulose

 

into digestible carbohydrates for energy?..just curious :D

One problem would be that the cellulase would be a protein, and you would digest it.

What if you reacted the cellulase with the ceullose first, then ate it?
