    My response. I have diabetes. If I ate like you it would kill me.

    It's true and I will get to look at their jaw drop.

    I'm sorry you have diabetes but holy crap this response literally made me LOL I might use it and I don't even have diabetes! Again Im not laughing at the diabetes itself at all but I would love to see this response in action because the other person would be dumbfounded ;)

    I think the best response is none at all. Isn't the entire point of the directed hate to get a rise out of you? Give them neither the time of day nor the satisfaction and they go away.

    "Yup. Want some?"

    *wait for response to the negative*

    "Then, why does it matter to you WHATSOEVER? Did brussel sprouts do mean things to you when you were a child, or is it just that you're STILL a child?"

    If you sing , you could try an over the top chorus of "Veggie Love" to the tune of "Baby Love", all the while dancing around and kissing your brussels sprouts. MIGHT make them laugh, definitely will drown them out and you can get some exercise at the same time.


    Veggie Love, Oh my Veggie Love
    How I need you, oh how I need you
    'Cause I been missing ya, and I miss kissin ya
    Instead of breaking up
    Let's do some kissing and making up
    Don't throw our love away
    In my arms why don't you stay
    Need ya, need ya
    veggie love, ooh, veggie love

    i think people tend to forget we have our own little built in ignore feature

    the worse thing you can ever do, in the real world or internet is to give someone the attention they crave

    Aside from the deadpan stare, I'd employ a healthy dose of scorn. "seriously? you're mocking me for eating vegetables? that's a thing now?"

    Haha yes this is a good one!

    Canned witty responses makes you look lame. Just tune them out and go "uh-huh" every now and then.

    it is true that they only really work on sitcoms and in battle-raps but I couldn't resist the chip joke. :) In real life I would most likely just give them a pitying look and then ignore them. If they are trying to belittle you for eating healthy they've already made themselves look dumb enough.

    I feel like this would be something I'd say.
    but with Brussel sprouts, not Broccoli

    ETA: OH and if they dye their hair would could say "Speaking of roots, I see yours"

    I would have responded with. "Oh I don't think your roots show that bad, oh wait that's just a grey hair on your head. "

    "Nothing tastes as good as thin feels"

    I've seen that 'mantra' of far too many pro-ana sites for it to do anything but make me uncomfortable.

    Yeah... "Nothing tastes as good as healthy feels." Is better :flowerforyou:

    I just had to look up pro-ana is. Wowsers.

    I was looking at this from a will-power perspective, not a don't eat perspective.

    I think comments like this say a lot about a person's ignorance. I don't know that I'd even be insulted. Knowing that I am doing what is best for my own body is good enough. I do not need approval from the peanut gallery.

    So a close relative remarked, " You can still see the roots on those," as I was happily eating lightly broiled brussels sprouts.
    "Yeah, you know where they came from," I responded.

    She continued her rant about eating vegetables. My quip did not make her laugh or shut up.

    I need better, smart-*kitten*, but funny quips/comebacks that will shut people up. I haven't found anything online. Come on, there had to be funny healthy people, right?

    How's about...

    Girl/Dude I just love you...sounds like you need a hug and give him or her one. Then, with sincerity and finality ask him/her to/if they pray will for you about your food choices--if they don't like them or are concerned about your eating choices, then ask them how they are doing and feeling and if there is anything troubling them in their life...Trust me, that will shut up even the most smart alecky person and most always have them change the subject--it does for me anyway!

    "broccoli gets stuck in your teeth, french fries get stuck on your *kitten*"

    I totally need to remember this one.
