A reverse centaur walks into a bar - Why the long face?
A centaur as we all know is a horse with a human head (and torso).
I would like to consider a reverse centaur, which, for the purposes of this question, I will define to be a human with a horse's head as shown below:
Although the creature (Bojack Horseman) in the picture is completely fictional, let us suppose that a race similar to this evolved from humans on an isolated world.
Problem
A horse's head is excellent for horses; they have to eat from the ground and chew grass.
A human's digestive system is excellent for omnivorous humans but near to useless for digesting grass.
Question
How can we account for the evolution of reverse centaurs? What must we suppose about their diet and anatomy for this to make sense?
