EDIT: lynndotpy was right; it's required by law under COPPA if we have users under 13. It's the same reason that sites ask people for their age/birthday to check if they're under 13.
We want kids to be able to learn to cook too!

I'd love a clarification, say, that they don't somehow do this for adult users of the app.
This. The average age of people who watch cooking shows is ~11.
