It's everywhere. Why not just eat it instead of searching for veggies and meat which are more difficult to have?

If you look at all the other animals in the world that do eat grass, we did. But the "we" that eat grass, look like those animals, with those traits.
The "we" that became smart became so due to what we evolved to eat and do.
