Do you eat all the parts of a cow that contain the necessary nutes? Or do you just eat the delicious meaty bits which only have a very limited array of chemical constituents? If you want the full range you really ought to be having a couple of eyes and a few teeth sprinkled on your breakfast pancreas.
That's known as nose-to-tail eating. I mainly eat muscle meat, liver and create homemade bone broth. I am slowly exploring other areas of the animal, and have a meat grinder which makes it a lot easier. There are only two eyes in a cow, so if I average 1.5 cows per year, then missing out on three eyeballs isn't going to do much.

But if you have the same biology as a cow, then why don't you cut out the middle man and just eat grass? My mamalian analog of choice is the bat, but they're really hard to catch so I just leave a light on overnight and eat a big handful of dead moths for breakfast. I've never felt better but I just have a slight headache from banging my head on my desk lamp all day.
I never said we have the same biology as a cow. I just said we're both mammals. See if you can name a nutrient that cows utilise that we don't, or vice versa.
Grass uses sunlight as an energy source. Cows use grass as an energy source. Then we use cows as an energy source. Humans have complicated the process over the millennia simply due to food shortages and overpopulation. We're the only species that tells itself that we need to eat a variety of foods. But the only reason we need to do that is because no other food contains all the nutrients we need.
