1. Since you're the only one in the neighborhood who thinks like this

It's obvious you need to find a place in the country with ten acres of land around each side of your house. Only then will you be able to bbq your tofu in peace.

4. Oh dear! You must have missed the HOA documents when you moved in

This is a carnivorous community and you’re in the meat-required radius.

5. There is only one logical response to this.

Walk over to your neighbor's yard, go directly to the grill, extend your plate, and ask for a piece. If they are good neighbors they have prepared plenty so that they can share with you.

6. I think the neighbors may not be the problem here.

People expect something raw to be cooked, so yes it may have looked like raw flesh, but it could have been a near-meat product.
If your neighbors are cooking a near-meat product, the whole vegan argument is meaningless.
Your neighbors may enjoy these discussions with you, especially if they never told you about it. Maybe they think you wouldn't listen. What exactly do they say?

Other than that it will have to be prayers. Lots of prayers for those trespassing scents.

7. It was probably just the Democrats in the neighborhood roasting babies.

8. They give vegans a bad name

Most vegans I know don't give two shits if you eat meat
