Earl“Rusty” Butz, secretary of the USDA under Nixon decreed that we would be a - highly profitable for big Ag - grain eating nation. We have been told to eat grains ever since.
If grains are consumed for more than several weeks the grains begin to have a detrimental effect on digestive systems - this is a plant protection mechanism that insures the plant species will not be eaten out of existence. It is also part of the reason we lose our "taste" for foods after continuously eating them.
No animal has evolved that eats grains all year long but there is good reason that animals ate the high carb fall foods - they needed to fatten up to survive the winters.
Grains can be tolerated, but greens should dominate diets in the spring and summer months.
