That "Congratulations, you must be real proud of yourself" line is a rough paraphrase of comments I've heard here and elsewhere about going carfree, or trying to reduce the use of plastic bags, or reducing meat consumption.

Some people are transitioning from an unhealthy lifestyle to a healthier one, or -- god forbid! encouraging others to join them. That sort of lashing out seems to be the stock response from people who are comfortable with their unhealthy choices and don't want to be reminded that there are other, better alternatives.
