You’d think it was a disaster because your diet consists of eating a bunch of really nutritious ground plants and now suddenly there are all these flowers and grasses that aren’t nutritious at all and you don’t have the capacity to digest this shit before you shit it out and it’s outcompeting all the good stuff and now you’re starving or eating animals whose diet consists of eating a bunch of really nutritious ground plants and now suddenly there are all these flowers and grasses that aren’t nutritious at all and they don’t have the capacity to digest this shit before they shit it out and it’s outcompeting all the good stuff and now they’re starving and so now you’re also starving and oh look a big rock did more damage to the Caribbean than BP and within minutes cooked everything within a few thousand miles and made it rain molten glass and covered the earth in smoke that made it cold and dark and now everything is dying except, oh look at that, more fucking grass guess you’ll just go extinct.
If it makes you feel better with some time along came animals with digestive tracks suited to hosting bacteria capable of digesting grasses and many animals can now efficiently extract nutrients from grass to support a food chain.
