Some of the reasons which I haven’t seen mentioned yet (nearly 200 replies, so I could have missed it):
-
To be able to continue to make favorite family recipes;
-
To make it easier for one’s kids to have friends over and not serve “weird” food (particularly helpful in the early years);
-
To blend in, in group social situations where one doesn’t want to stand out…“what are you, vegan?” at the company cookout;
-
To be able to try pretty much any recipe that looks interesting.
