I remember at one of the Hans Jayanti Festivals in the Kissimmee swamp, Rawat ranted on about how people use substitutes for meat and the like and what lazy devotees we were. I remember he used the examples of "Dr. Tima Cola" as a substitute for Coca Cola, and tofu that is made to taste like meat or fish, among other things. I didn't quite get what the hell he was talking about, but he seemed quite upset about it.
Of course, later at that same festival, he told us as we sat on the ground in the boiling Florida sun and he sat in an ugly, padded, air conditioned chair, that we had no right to even look at him, and that to be a true devotee, you had to see him and nothing else (which was kind of a contradiction, I thought), and then he rode around half naked with a pearl mala and crown, in a flowered cart pulled by the Initiators. Yes that festival was a real treat, let me tell you.
