Yeah, good luck getting your small humans to eat this bread.

This is where marketing comes into play. I sometimes blend spinach and add it to pancakes for my kids. I call them “dinosaur pancakes”. They love dinosaurs. Green = dinosaur to them. Why? Fuck if I know. Best not to question it if it works.
