Chelsea Clinton horrified the internet with spinach pancakes

So much wrong.

The great food wars of 2017 continues with no end in sight.

Chelsea Clinton celebrated the fake holiday National Pancake Day on Tuesday by creating some fake ass pancakes.

"Spinach pancakes for #NationalPancakeDay," Clinton wrote on Twitter along with a photo of some mangled-looking blobs. While Clinton claims these are pancakes, Mashable was unable to confirm this allegation.

The internet was rightfully horrified.

Clinton later cleared up the controversial flavor by tweeting that her daughter needs iron in her diet, so she puts spinach in everything possible.

But she also stated that she does enjoy the pancakes.

Some asked if the spinach pancakes had the typical maple syrup treatment. While these spinach pancakes were served at dinner with chicken, Clinton did say that she does serve them with syrup.

While we're still kinda grossed out, we understand that sometimes kids can be picky eaters, and you have to do what you have to do as a parent .
