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!

Bought 10 kilos of bananas and the woman serving me said something about the supermarket having to advocate 'a balanced diet'. Nobody said anything to the guy with 2 peperoni pizzas and 2 slabs of chocolate... or the people who buy alcohol, or cigarettes, or etc.

Okay, that's just weird! A supermarket clerk giving out nutritional advice? Crazy!

Has anyone been asking these people what they think fruit DOES have? I'm curious to see what the answers are... might clear some things up or set off a light-bulb moment in them. It's like do they think it's high in fat? Doubt that, and obviously no one thinks it's high in protein. What if it simply requires a little push to get them to do the basic process of elimination to realize there's only one thing left or they simply haven't made a basic connection that sugars are carbs. Someone please do this and let us know how it goes!

I bet most of them will look really confused and say, very tentatively, "....fiber?...." LOL

Just recieved a comment out of the blue on my YouTube channel from someone I used to know:

"Just be OK with being a vegan dude, the ONLY person with an issue about being a vegan is, wait for it, YOU my friend. Why else would you go to such great lengths to defend it? Lighten up!!!!!! "

Apparently being vegan is ok, making videos is ok, but making videos about veganism means you have a problem. Can anyone figure the logic? I sent a fairly kind response back saying that if my videos were upsetting them, they should consider refraining from watching them. I attached a video showing slaughterhouse footage too, knowing full well they wouldn't watch it.
