They had 12 people with them and the article says what everyone ordered. It's like a frum guy that goes to a business meeting in a treif restaurant, is he assumed to eat what everyone else ordered?
I honestly don't care one way or another about what
they did (I'm fine with them trying to be as religious as they can be with their background), but the articles mention what each one specifically ordered. I'm not trying offend, but let's not pretend either. Trying to cover it up just prompts people to prove you wrong, so let's just ignore it and move on.
