One liner retorts for annoying comments...

This was inspired by Kelin's thread, "What's the most annoying thing anyone has said to you about your diet?."

I will start.

Comment: "Come on, live a LITTLE."
Retort: "No thank you, I rather live A LOT."

You will basically have to stop eating to get a protein deficiency.

Been vegetarian for over 40 years. The one liner jokes are older than that about the meat not on my plate, or that is on thiers.

Response:

"WOW! That was really funny!!! For about 3 minutes--40 years ago."

The same response should work just as well for the older 6ft 6 inch person who hears the joke "What's the weather like up there?" 5 times a day...

The 1st time I heard whatever stupid witty about their eating meat and I do not was about 40+ years ago. As unoriginal as it may have been, I did not take offense and I did think it was funny--for about 3 minutes. The next few thousand times I heard the same thing, not funny...

What about for people who say, "Oh I just couldn't live without cheese" (or pizza or ice cream or bread, whatever?

The reply might be; "Yeah, I understand, I know people who cannot live without their cigarettes or alcohol, pervasive addictions are hell to get past..."

Exclaim in amazement "HOLY S***! You would DIE without cheese?!? Are you sure? How do you know?".

Or explain how casein converts into casomorphin, an opiod peptide, and that they are addicted to a drug similar to heroin.
Highlight their addiction in order to make them question themselves, "Oh, similar to how a heroin addict just couldn't live without heroin?"
