I wouldn't go that far. I'm not the world's greatest chef, but my reasoning for not cooking on tour is slightly different. My first tours were done at a time when I simply couldn't afford the outlay on purchasing cooking equipment for a tour (the equipment I use in the kitchen isn't really appropriate for that setting), and were done in a Queensland summer when the last thing you want after a hot day's riding is a hot meal. I learned to do it the other way when I started touring, and simply haven't had a reason to change a policy that works.
