Id ask the waiter for another table, explaining that those people are being very obnoxious and loud...and as I left the table, Id be sure to walk over to theirs and lay down one of Eric or Bo's business cards and tell her she needs to "get educated".
Now, if I had a card which showed my before and after pic..then Id give her one of those as well.......
But I would remove myself from the situation where we could enjoy our dinner in peace.
What did you do Adriana??

I agree with Noami(sp?). I would give them a card w/website info and sources to look it up. Ignorance can be harmful, so I would rather have someone do a little research, and realize that WE are REAL people, with an illness. We are not lazy, or unmotivated, or lack willpower. I had this talk w/a coworker the other day, after her "lovely" remark that I would be so pretty if I were thinner. First, I had to put myself in check and not snatch her head off, as I was want to do. Then I told her that that was such a back handed compliment, and that I didn't appreciate it. She apologized. A little knowledge goes a long way, and I gave her this sites address, and some other sources. She's not exactly svelte herself, so she took them w/o comment. Ok, enough of my little rant.

Hmm...if I was on a date...that would in and of itself be a monumentous occassion! I would have to take the opportunity to find out my date's opinion. It would depend upon whether or not I had already told him about it. I sure would not let someone else dictate how I relayed that info to someone I was interested in. If he already knew I would probably give him a grin and look back and forth at the people talking so they would know we had an inside secret that had to do with them. I would smirk at him like they were fools whenever their comments dictated. Hopefully, they would get the idea that we found them to be idiotic. Not very direct, but it would make me happy
