I pack all my own food on the road. I train for Ironman/half ironman's and follow a strict diet I eat a lot and don't really want to eat McDonalds, Dunkin donuts, Starbucks, among other things that people eat on the road. I really find no problem in bringing my own food. Id rather save my money so I can travel to races, save for a house, put extra money into a savings account.
I fly with ultra marathon guys as well, and they don't look like they are going on an extended camping trip like a lot of the regional guys do. There are many other things in airports other than McD's, Dunkin Donuts, and Starbucks.

In fact, I haven't been to any of those three places in years.
