Whether you follow a vegetarian diet for health reasons or from personal choice, it may sometimes be a challenge to eat well when you travel. But with some advance planning and local know-how, your trip doesn’t have to leave you wanting for food.
Eating Vegetarian Abroad: Staying Safe
In many countries, especially developing countries, sanitation facilities may not be what Americans are used to, making it possible for foods and water to be contaminated with bacteria or viruses that could make you quite ill. Foods that are seemingly safe, such as fresh fruit, may have been washed in local, contaminated water, making the outer skin of the fruit dangerous. This may make some tempting local produce off limits for vegetarians and for other travelers as well.
Although it will take some advance planning and organization, it is very possible to stick to a healthy vegetarian diet when you travel.
