Putting a "simple encouragement" in a technical tutorial like that is at the very least a non sequitur and detracts from the reading experience.

That's not to say educational material should be dry and without humor, but this is simply pure agenda.

And I fail to see anything out of order with the agenda, "encourage women to program".

There isn't. There's nothing wrong with the agenda of promoting healthy eating habits, either. However it's not a good idea to preface a technical article about food processing with it.
