No, it contains cellulose that the body cannot digest. Cows can eat it because they have several stomachs that can deal with the cellulose, but we as humans cannot release the nutritional value because the cellulose holds it in and our bodies cannot get to it. It is safe to chew, but not swallow. Chewing grass gives the body chlorophyll which is really healthy and good for the digestive system.

Generally, no. (Unless you're a worm.) Some people in a part of Georgia regularly eat chunks of a certain red clay that is found there, but this is not recommended and is probably harmful.

The only grass that is considered a vegetable is corn. But all other species of grasses are not vegetables; the domesticated varieties are considered grains, not vegetables.

Which part of the onion is eatable?

There is a thin layer of dry, papery skin on an onion bulb which has to be peeled off, and is not edible; every other part of the onion is edible, including the leaves if the bulb is allowed to sprout. Raw onion has a rather strong flavor, which has to be used in moderation - just a bit of chopped raw onion is nice on a hamburger. Fried onion develops a much milder, savory flavor. Chopped onion leaves (green onion) go well in soup.
