If there’s one thing that many people have an opinion on, it’s the type of food that they eat. People will talk about it at any opportunity and there are times when they may even argue about it.
One way of eating is to avoid any type of meat or animal products. Some people call it being a vegetarian and other people call it eating vegan, but regardless of what you decide to call it, it’s a way of life that many people follow.
Some vegans live their lives and do their thing and, quite honestly, they have every right to eat any way they like. Other vegans, however, will get upset when others are not following their guidelines, and that seems to be the case in this story.
It seems as if a “last warning” was issued by a vegan to their neighbor because of his habit of barbecuing. They just couldn’t seem to stand the smell of meat, and the conflict quickly took an ugly turn.
The letter was sent from a neighbor, Kylie, and it was labeled as an “important message.”
The letter read: “Hello neighbor, could you please shut your side window when cooking, please. My family are vegan and the smell of the meat you cooked makes us feel sick and upset.
“We would appreciate your understanding, thanks.”
Kylie shared the letter on social media and it wasn’t long before it made its way to a popular Facebook group for Perth, Australia. She wanted to get some people behind her but it seems as if not everybody was happy about what she had to say.
It even got stranger when the neighbor ended up sending an additional letter as a follow-up and things just continued to go downhill from there.
She continued: “I raised my concerns of the smell of meat making my family sick and upset and you go and have a BBQ on Saturday night, inviting lots of people and you knew this would affect me and my family.”
“My friend Tina told me you took my letter to social media and it backfired on you which is ‘just desserts’.”
At the end of the letter, she wrote: “Please no more BBQs and please keep that window closed when cooking otherwise I’m going to report you and go to social media too.”
After the follow-up was also shared, people began to post more and more replies. Many were upset that the vegan family was raising their children to not respect the differences in others were saying they had the right to cook.
This is a debate that will just continue, but it sure is interesting to watch.
