Good point!
Dinosaurs ate Cycads, Conifers, Ferns, etc. There weren't flowering and fruiting things til the Cretaceous, but Grass wasn't around til after the Dinosaurs. Grazing species mainly fed on plants that looked much like today's Horsetails, Ferns, and Palm relatives. Hence why so many species had large beaks or teeth strictly for grinding things down. (most of the plants back then had calcium based compounds in their foliage that today would wear a man's teeth to nothing if that was his main diet)
