Ok, in all seriousness.
1. I have pretty much been there, done that. Eating exotic food in the 3rd world sucks after the dice come up snake eyes a few times. If I never spend another night in a hotel bathroom curled in the fetal position that will be just fine with me.
2. I am trying to avoid crap carbs, which is difficult when on the road. Randomly seeking food on the road put 40 pounds on me over 13 years. Most of which is now gone.
3. I do go out, and I do spend money. I just prefer to now do it on my terms.
4. I do buy beer for my crew.
There are a lot of reasons to pack food on the road, and I clicked on this thread to see if there were any new ideas for me. Your first post, to be honest, comes across as somewhat patronizing.
