Vegan Fam Insists Their Neighbors Not Cook Meat Anymore Due To Its Smell, Drama Ensues

In the modern world, we have the freedom to choose what kind of food we want to eat and what we don’t. At the same time, we also have to tolerate that others also have this choice. Maybe they have their own specific diet, maybe they don’t pay too much attention to their diet label and just eat what they like. So, our task is to learn to live with each other and our eating habits.

Yet, sometimes doing so is a struggle. Like in this story, where vegans and non-vegans beefed (pun intended) due to the smell of meat. It all started with a small note and pretty soon it turned into a social media war.

In a world where we can all choose what we like to eat, we sometimes struggle to accept that those around us have the same choice

Two families were living together, one of them vegan, while the other enjoyed cooking and eating meat

The choice ofdietsand dietary practices nowadays is a seemingly never-ending list: from Atkins (avoiding high-carb foods), clean eating, and dairy-free diet topescetarianism(eating fish, but not meat), vegetarianism, and veganism. Basically, there is definitely a label out there that can define your eating habits.

At the same time, when you choose to live by certain nutrition ideals, you have to deal with the fact that it doesn’t mean every single person around you will do the same. So, it’s natural that differences in diets sometimes lead to arguments.

One day, the vegan family wrote the non-vegans a letter asking them to close their windows while cooking meat, as the smell makes them sick

That’s what happened in today’s story. Someone named Kylie, who we’ll call the OP today, got a letter from their neighbors. What should be noted is that these neighbors arevegans, so they don’t consume any type of animal products, such as eggs, milk, or meat.

In this letter, the neighbors informed Kylie’s family that they are vegans. But it wasn’t only that; in fact, the letter was more like a complaint. Apparently, they are disgusted by the smell of meat, so they would appreciate it if the OP’s family would at least close the window when they’re cooking it.

Evidently, Kylie’s household didn’t take the letter seriously, despite the attached note that they should.

Instead of listening to the neighbors’ request, the non-vegans posted the letter online

Well, when neighbor disputes happen, according to theMetropolitan Police, the first step should be talking. In a way, it could be viewed that the OP’s neighbors took this step, but decided to do it in writing, not verbally.

And maybe that was the mistake. When it comes to discussing problems like that, eye-to-eyeconnectioncan be important, as it might come off as more sincere than simply leaving a note that might not be taken seriously. That’s what happened, after all.

Kylie’s family thought the note was so amusing, they decided to share it on social media, on theHeyPerth Facebook page, to be more specific. People who saw the post, let’s just say, were annoyed.

Some time later, the vegan family wrote another letter saying that they know about the social media posts and asking the same thing as the first time, only more seriously this time

They viewed the neighbors as entitled, someone who thinks their lifestyle is the most important and everyone should adhere to that, no matter their own lifestyles. So, they started jokingly (or not so jokingly) suggesting Kylie’s family have a BBQ near the neighbor’s windows to spread the smell even more.

Funnily enough, that’s what the OP’s family ended up doing. We know they did because some time later, a second letter from the neighbors also ended up online. This letter was an angrier one, calling out Kylie’s family for not taking the request seriously, having a vengeful BBQ, and posting about the whole thing online.

This letter also ended up on social media, showing that the non-vegan family reacted pretty flippantly to the threats written in it

To make sure the request would be taken more seriously this time, the neighbors decided to threaten that they’d be posting about the whole thing online too. So, basically, the simple annoying smell of meat turned into a full-blown war between neighbors, when all they could have done was to have a direct conversation to discuss how they could solve the problem in a way that pleases everyone.
