Various grasses cover a huge portion of the planet. It's a shame, but we can't eat it. Our bodies just do not have the ability to process it. A cow can, though, and when it does it grows and creates a huge mass of nutrient dense/rich food that our bodies digests quite well. The closest thing that modern man has come up with as an equivalent is the ability to make various protein powders and, maybe to a lesser extent, cheese.
I don't think it takes an ideology or religion to see the connection from one thing to another in this picture.
