You don’t, they tell you.

A letter from a vegan neighbour asking a resident to close their window when cooking meat has sparked fierce debate.
A bizarre neighbourhood dispute has erupted in Perth’s northern suburbs.
And it’s over the smell of food …
On behalf of their vegan family members, a Burns Beach resident has written to their neighbour asking they close their window when cooking their “sickening” meat — PerthNow reports.
The upset writer presented the letter with “PLEASE TAKE SERIOUSLY” written on the front of the envelope containing the request.
The letter submitted to Hey Perth on Facebook begins: “Hello neighbour, could you please shut your side window when cooking?
“My family are vegan — we eat only plant-based foods — and the smell of the meat you cook makes us feel sick and upset.
“We would appreciate your understanding — thanks. Sarah, Wayne, and kids.”
The letter has garnered hundreds of reactions from users on Facebook, primarily dumbfounded by what they’ve read.
“I bet her mouth starts watering when old mate mows his lawn and she gets a whiff of that deliciously fresh cut grass but!” one user wrote.
“I’m offended by the smell of the kale she always cooks,” another wrote.
Others said it was time to get their BBQs out despite the letter.
“Oh, man ... I’d be firing up the bbq and inviting the entire street,” one said.
“I would fire up the smoker and do a 12-hour brisket, with a sausage sizzle for lunch thrown in — entitled much,” said another.

I used to work next door to a Taco Cabana (sizzling fajitas). And other the other side was a Shoney’s (Bacon and eggs. Across the street was a Burger King (flame broiled Whoppers).
And the office had mountain laurels all around.
I used to think this is what Heaven must smell like.
Gosh so literate she has to print
Build a mini-trebuchet and fling grilled lil’ smoky links onto his roof.
I want to be delivered from the smug hypocrisy of vegans who want to outlaw meat-eating! That especially applies to the climate-jockey vegans!!!!
These creeps have already driven beef prices sky-high, and made lamb virtually unavailable!! Phooey, phooey, PHOOEY!!!!
Dear Veg-head:
CLOSE Y O U R OWN DAMN WINDOW.
🥓🍖🥩🍗
Dear vegan,you sound like you need a great big hug...and a nice juicy cheeseburger.
You don’t, they tell you.
Wait until your co-worker microwaves a jar of Kimchi into flame, resulting in projectile vomiting in the hallways...
My reply: GFY, Cupcake.
There’s no greater smell in the world than a leg of lamb roasting.
The fallacy in that statement would be a false sense of entitlement. As a neighbor, it is not appropriate to demand that someone else changes their behavior to cater to your personal preferences. The neighbor has a right to cook whatever they prefer in their own home, and the vegan family has the choice to either tolerate the smell or find another solution. It’s important to respect each other’s personal choices and live in harmony, rather than forcing one’s beliefs on others.
Time for a block BBQ
Well, worldwide, meat will soon be banned so the nosy neighbor will eventually get his way.
Dear Karen, We are Carnivores and what you smell is part of our religious faith, so please respect our beliefs.
signed,
My daughter has a college friend who is vegan “to be more healthy”. Meanwhile having 10-12 vodkas a day and has a pack and a half a day smoking habit.
Pretty sure a piece of fried chicken or a burger isn’t going to be the death of her.
Dear Neighbor,
Seek psychiatric treatment.
You could burn some popcorn.
I have heard that a vegan diet can cause flatulence issues.
