There's two - the first is taste (I prefer the taste to the florets, though that's of course subjective) but secondly and more importantly, it's the nutritional value - which is concentrated in the florets - particularly chlorophyll.
As far as I am concerned if you don't like something as it is then find a different piece or different vegetable by all means, but there is something morally wrong with adulterating an item because you don't want a small part of it.

And as for anyone who snaps the thin ends off the carrots, as someone apparently does, I'm virtually speechless at the pettiness.As far as I am concerned if you don't like something as it is then find a different piece or different vegetable by all means, but there is something morally wrong with adulterating an item because you don't want a small part of it.

I tried snapping them too but couldn't manage it ..... I'm very tempted to take a small knife with me the next time I go to Sainsbury's 
I reckon the stalks must be 75% of the weight of the broccoli!
Yes I agree with you Mags, they've got like small shrubs now!
