True, but I would think that by implementing such a genetic change, (the
digestion of cellulose) a compensatory measure could be taken, either
genetically or bionetically (bioware). Sorry, but right now i can't think
of such a measure (i've been sleep dep trying to right up a paper for
publication) but i think one could easily exist in 2050.
