Constant Criticism of Vegetarianism

Greetings Vega Community,

First off, Id like to say this is a great site with tons of interesting discussions and helpful information.

Lately Ive had a lot of people on my back for changing my diet to not include eating animals. It seems like everyone who brings it up has to criticize what Im doing and people get very insulted that I dont eat the same way as them.

Its as if Ive just put down their religion.

I get all the normal questions like where do you get your protein and arent you sick all the time.

No Im not sick all the time actually, Im the healthiest Ive ever been in my life these past six months since I became vegetarian.

What I AM sick of is people being so nosy and trying to give ME lectures on nutrition, when later on they go swing by McDonalds later and get a big mac.

I just try to avoid the topic with people completely try not to argue, its like talking to a brick wall with most people.

So my question for the Vega Community: How do you deal with this seemingly endless constant hostility towards your dietary choices?
