The worst I've gotten is a good natured "you know, all that healthy eating is going to kill you".0

I get called fit freak or health nut or picky all the time by my coworkers.
I don't care. Just do you and keep it moving1 -
People love to share their opinions. They love to say how my food is or is not for them. Sometimes in a rude way. Their comment does not matter one bit to me. It is their's, and I don't have to accept it. Whether they are someone that likes my food options or hates it does not bother me either way. The majority of the time, it is something they heard from television or others sharing opinions. But sometimes, it is great information. For instant the person had someone look at his yogurt and say it was high in sugar. Hmmm... a person that states fact. We can know take that information and make a decision. Ignore or Apply. Take the fact and decide, I like eating high sugar yogurt, so I will. Which you probably did since you are dieting. You could also reconsider and stop eating yogurt (or maybe eat less). Again, you may have already done that.
I could not imagine looking at someone's plate, while they are eating and commenting on it UNLESS they ask. But for those that feel compelled, I just let them be them - and usually smile for sharing the opinion and ignore it.
I hope everyone can just let others be themselves (bully's, opinion sharers, whatever) and KEEP ENJOYING whatever it is YOU decided to put on your plate at that time
I say this cause I have family that get so bent out of shape when someone "opposes" their food. It actually hurts their feelings. I just wish they would not let others do that. Other people's opinions do not affect our ego - unless we let it!1
