The rant was posted to @BestNextDoor -- an account that houses neighborhood drama -- which showed the runner had requested nearby residents only barbeque vegetables because it's "always hard for me this time of year when the weather starts warming up."
"Several nights a week I'm out running around dinnertime and when people have their windows open I can smell what they are cooking," the request said. "I've noticed a sharp uptick recently in smells of folks cooking meat and it can be quite overpowering."
A self-proclaimed "vegan runner" in California received backlash on Saturday after boldly asking neighbors to close their windows when cooking meat because the smells were 'overpowering and offensive.'
"Quite honestly the odor is offensive and I'm hoping our community can have some empathy for its #plantbased neighbors by closing their windows if they are cooking meat and only putting vegetables on their bbq," the runner added.

I believe I'd have to move my grill out into the front yard and BBQ every evening - about the same time.

Hey, vegan...run somewhere else.
In your defense, you spelled "egregious" correctly.
Have a barbecue at least once a year and invite every (real and social media) friend you have. Make sure you specify that it will be a carnivore's delight. The vegans will make themselves known, and you can commence to winnow your lists.
