I traveled as a vegan for four years, and not only was finding something to eat a total pain in the ass (had to pack lots of protein bars), I really didn't get to experience much in the way of regional cuisines. My last two trips as an omnivore have been awesome---a whole new world has opened up!

And for what it's worth, meats in countries like Morocco are almost exclusively free-range and hormone-free, despite not having fancy certifications.... Totally agree!
