Oh, I've had it done to me. I was getting my extra thick cream and full-fat yogurt, when Nosy, Outspoken, Observant Child said, "My mummy says that's really bad for anyone to eat." "Yes," chimed in Mummy, "We have healthy, low fat food."
"Oh, "said me. "You know, I did that for years, and all the sugar that gets put in that so-called healthy low-fat food you've got. It's made me very ill and I was twice the size I am now. Ever since I've been eating properly, for me, I've been so much healthier in so many ways, including the size I now am. My medical team say so." Exit Japes, leaving behind two uncomfortable looking souls.
So, yes, if you want to be judgemental in an out-loud way, go right ahead, I won't mind, just be prepared for my reasoning... be it financial, medical, or "Yes, I know and it's my choice to eat the way I do and none of your business what I am buying and why." (Might well be me shopping for a housebound neighbour who I'd rather ate what he wanted while he can, rather than my definition of healthy.)
None of this stops me being judgmental in my head and silently! Or thinking "Oh heck, just don't comment on my weird combination of items..."
Come to think of it, I get regular comments in one supermarket from the till operator about the large vegetarian family I must have. Um, no, just me in my house who bulk buys when special offers are on for the freezer to save me time in term time.
