Well, it will be nice to feed your tamagotchi something different than Bread, Sushi*, Cereal*, etc. once in a while. Perhaps feeding your tamagotchi its favorite food would be a nice change of pace. Also, certain foods will raise skill points for its own unique category. For example, I think that eating Steak will raise your intellectual points. That is the point of buying food from the store

Well, it'd would be nice to give your tamagotchi a change. Wouldn't you feel sick after a while eating the same things? Some, like Melons, raise all your points in a pinch!
