You are right.  I also have a teenage daughter.  I do most of the
cooking for the family.  For me, the convivial aspect of eating
is of equal importance with the nutritional aspect.  I am not
interested in adopting a way of eating that has the effect of
isolating me from my fellow human beings.  Just doing paleo with
cooked foods can be a challenge, but for the most part it is
feasible.  And when it isn't feasible I abandon the diet without
a second thought.
