My parents have use to talk about the Hare Krishnas. They were all over the University of Florida back in the early 70's when my parents attended school there. My parents talked about how the group use to have these luncheons where they would give out free food so that they could get people to join their group. My parents would attend the luncheons for the free food and then leave when someone would start talking to them about their beliefs.
