Is there a way to stay at one of these resorts any NOT PAY for a meal plan?

Is it me or am I just running to more and more mandatory meal plan resorts? When searching for an exchange on RCI, I see more and more meal plan resorts, I immediately eliminate them from any consideration. Is there a way to stay at one of these resorts any NOT PAY for a meal plan? A large reason I visit an area is to experience the local life, which usually includes going to local restaurants. I also tend to travel around from my home base during the week and can't eat at the resort restaurants even if I wanted to. am I alone here, or do most people also hate the meal plans?
