do sauropods eat grass?
i just saw on discovery channel that "given the length of a sauropod's neck, it's muscles would be too heavy to be carried by it's vertebrae. this however proves the theory that sauropods eat from tall tree branches is false...a sauropod would not have been having his head up high like what many illustrators imagine, however, it's head would've been only slightly above it's body height, with it's neck positioned vertically instead of curving upwards...it would be a grass eater"..
those are some of the words that i remembered in the show... but when i googled it, i find no article whatsoever about a sauropod being a grass eater.. this was a new discovery made only last year or two years ago, i think, i don't know if the show was a re-run from last year.. but it was recent.. so is it true? sauropods eat grass?

In general, no. Grasses evolved in the late Cretaceous. Sauropods came much much earlier than that.
