You know what water buffalo, they used them to plow the fields. And well, you chewed it all in and spit it out, at least you got some good out of it because you couldn't chew, you couldn't eat it. But it was, I'd say slightly better, just a little bit more, maybe greens and kelp and stuff like that, yes.
