argument that Hare Krishna implies vegan lifestyle

Arguments

Hare Krishnas (members of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness) are all vegetarians. They serve free vegetarian meals, called feasts, every Sunday wherever they have a group anywhere in the world. 'It's a kind of open house. you come alone or with your family...It's no small-time snack. Devotees have spent all day - sometimes more - cooking wonderfully varied dishes.' (1) In needy areas, Hare Krishnas provide a vegetarian meal service throughout the week. 'Profuse distribution of prasadam, vegetarian food offered to Krsna, is integral to the Hare Krsna movement' (2).

Objections

Once they've finished providing that huge veggie feast for everyone, they all go for a McDonalds.
