Probably been said a million times but it's none of your business what they cook. They pay their rent, they pay for their food, they do their own cooking.


Personally can't stand vegans that can't mind their own business.

IDK, that is a very tough one. I mean, I can understand that to a Vegan, the smell of meat can be quite nasty. I had lamb-chops this morning........it was insanely good and the best part was that the delicious, greasy cooking-smell lingered for hours!

Maybe start weaning them off meat a little bit at a time with some cheesy, meaty tasting
meat-substitutes???

You have to get a new roommate. You’re not the president, you can’t outlaw meat eating.

LOL at this troll post. If you're going to troll, at least be creative about it. The simple solution is cook what you want, and let others cook what they want.

Why does it matter what they cook and eat for themselves?! Everyone has the right to eat what they want. They’re the ones eating it, not you. Can you not cook your own food or something?

Would not fly with me! I want my meat to be real meat, not some fake substitute. I watch carb counts, so the fakes would likely have much higher carbs than I could have.

Nah, the troll OP is way off base.

"Meaty tasting" wouldn't be honest veganism.

Oh, I'll tell ya how you can convince them.
First you make your eyes real big and scary-looking.
If you can't make both eyes real big and scary-looking, just do one eye.
Then you stare at them every time they walk into the kitchen.
Twitch a lot. No, more than that. I said TWITCH.
Can you make a weird, high pitched, screeching noise in your throat?
Do that. Make it sound like, "Shkreeeeeeee-riki-tiki-tavi-rooty-tooty-reeeek-reeeeeek!"
No one likes that sound.
They'll be convinced in no time that they don't want to do any cooking.
You're welcome.

You can also throw buckets of blood or red paint on them yelling at them that they are killers.
