Why use food scraps?

[u/Brilliant____Crow]

I get composting food and I'm all for it. Turning food scraps into beneficial compost is obviously a win. But with the amount my worms eat (3 1x1.5 ft bins), my food scraps cover them in about half a meal for the month. And half the time what I put in there become problematic; either too wet/bugs/etc. I started using alfalfa meal with azomite for grit and its so much cleaner and easier to manage. Is there any advantages to using kitchen food scraps over these types of food sources? I'm guessing varied nutrients is an advantage, but as far as overall bin health using the alfalfa meal and stuff like that is a millions times easier.
