    Just walk away while he is still talking. Men hate when you do this.

    Ugghh my hubby does this when we're in the middle of an argument/debate. It is THE most infuriating thing he can do to me!!!!

    I have one of those. If were having a discussion and he thinks it might lead to an argument he will walk off. Annoys me so much as then nothing gets sorted

    Which is probably why he does it. Throw plates. It works in movies.

    "Why, thank you, diet soda police."

    Although, in real life, when someone did tell me to consider not using artificial sweetener because it was dangerous, and she saw me as a happy, healthy person and wanted me to remain that way, I said, "Thank you :)".

    Tell him if he would like to continue commenting on your dietary choice you can involve human resources in the conversation. Many workplaces consider an individual's diet to be an inappropriate topic of conversation because it can involve medical, ethical, and religious aspects.

    I would ask him about the studies that he got his information from and then explain that I won't change my eating habits based on outdated information from mouse studies.


    I was thinking of suggesting something like, "By berating me about what I put in my body, you're creating a hostile work environment. ... By the way, do you have the number for HR?"

    But your suggestion is probably better.

    Please don't go running to the boss or HR. I'd rather get the talk about soda and find a way to shut him down, then be forever known as the untrustworthy office snitch.

    I interned as assistant for head of hr at a company and she ruled with an iron fist, just the mention of hr would make people go pale.

    "All that healthy living apparently has not done anything to improve your personality or social skills. Your hubris seems to be exceeded only by your belligerence and truculence." Or some rendition thereof.

    Using new buzzwords is always fun!
    You could roll your eyes and say, "Thanks for man-splaining that to me."
