What's the most annoying thing anyone has said to you about your diet?

I know this isn't exactly a productive topic, but...what are some irritating things people have said about the way you eat that you wanna get off your chest? I'll empathize with you if you empathize with me :) here are some of mine:
"just eat some cake, it can be your 'cheat day'" (who the heck has 'cheat days' from veganism??? And thanks for your permission)
"do me a favor and eat some chicken"
in response to me refusing pizza: "sometimes it's okay to be happy"
"there's no way that can be healthy"
that felt good!

*hugs* Good luck, it's hard to watch people you care about making stupid choices. I hope eventually they have a wake up call and try your path. :)

Just fast for a couple weeks. All the benefits of the Atkins diets without the nasty effect, plus loads more benefits! :P

Has anyone just considered breaking out into hysterical laughter when people say these things?

I don't have to consider it; it just comes naturally! People look at me like I'm mad when I start laughing upon hearing the "where do you get your protein?" question.

"But Brian, you have to get your protein from some where".

I haven't had any backlash yet.... I'm new to this. I hope you get real friends that are more supportive of your choices.

Keep up the good work!

Something that happened to me recently that really ticked me off was that my friend took an oreo cookie and shoved it right into my mouth while I was talking to some one else. She knows how serous I've been taking 80/10/10, but felt the need to show me that 1 cookie would not hurt. I got so mad at her and told her that's where she was wrong. I said to her "Do you know how long its going to take that cookie to come out the other end? Do you know how hard my body has to work to push that crap through my system? I was doing so well and now you set me back about a week." She felt really bad after wards. I was so mad that I didn't speak to her for the rest of the day. Although she made it out to be a joke, I felt that it was disrespectful to my beliefs.

My ex-landlord, upon hearing that I went raw, asked me "How are your bathroom breaks?" with this crazy grin on his face like he expected me to say terrible diarrhea or something.
