When I was growing up, I'd be in a restaurant, and someone would ask, or order

vegetarian. Instantly someone would ask why they were a vegetarian, and would then ask how strict they were. If they could find out that they use any products which have animals tested or used on them, they would enjoy implying that they were a hypocrit.

They were just ordering food without meat content.

I spent a lot of my 20's on diets. If I wasn't on a diet, nobody ever asked what I was eating.
If I said I was on a diet, instantly you'd be asked what you were eating and would be criticised for not eating the right things

Hence my suggesting you be private about it :)
