I don’t think humans have a digestive system capable of using leafy or cruciferous veggies as a major source of calories… nearly all of their calories are in the form of fermentable fiber which supplies energy by fermentation in colon to short chain fats. Unlike hindgut fermenter herbivores our colon isn’t large enough to supply much energy this way.
