I don't get pie crusts. They are horrible for you and they don't taste good. Why do they exist? Why not just eat the stuff on the inside of the pie?
Because if there was no pie crust, it wouldn't be a pie(see definition below), it would just be the filling. And besides, not all pie crusts are bad. The frozen grocery store ones aren't that great, but homemade pie crust is awesome.
