I don't think either of the proposed hooks is actually interesting to a wide audience. Catrìona (talk) 00:05, 8 October 2018 (UTC)

I find ALT 1 to be sufficiently interesting to a wide audience. The seeds are an ingredient in damper, which is a type of historic bread. Lots of people ate bread in the past, and lots of people eat bread today. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 13:10, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
I disagree. Most bread is made from the seeds of grasses like wheat and rice. Using seeds from a bush is unusual. Literally bush tucker. Moreover I think most people surveying the landscape in the image, which is typical of the arid parts of Australia, might not see it as an abundant source of food.
