A couple of years ago I was in a restaurant and when I ordered a half Reuben sandwich and bowl of creamy green chile chicken soup, the waitress said, "You know you just ordered the most fattening thing on the menu."
Fast forward six months and we were engaged. Of course I had to break it off because she was always criticizing every decision I ever made.
The food nazi thing gets really annoying, and it's not the least bit helpful. I would never bring it up in casual conversation especially with someone I don't even know.

Yeah, if one is just trying to strike up a conversation, criticizing somebody else's choices is about the worst way to go about doing it.
What in the world?!? I know full well that there are 203987283739829832873 calories in a Meatball Marinara. It looked delicious. Was this a horrible attempt to hit on me? Does he just have horrendous social skills? Or is he genuinely concerned for my well-being, since we were across from the hospital, anyway?
I'm curious....
I don't know why so many people are so obsessed with what other people eat. I'm a fat kid, I've always been a fat kid, and I'll always be a fat kid. I eat way too many fats and not nearly enough fruits and vegetables. But do you know whose business that is? Mine. Everyone else can take a long walk off a short pier if they think I care what they think or have to say about what I eat.
Maybe he assumed that since you were in a Subway that you were trying to eat healthy, and that you didn't know that ordering the meatball marinara wasn't the best way to go about it?
I didn't read the whole thread, admittedly, just the first page, but the man's looks, is this the most important thing? What about his mind, his spirit, his character?? This instant judgement of a person, based solely on their looks, is what women have been complaining about to men for eons.
You know who I think is "cute?" Scientists, mathematicians, philosophers, artists, musicians, geniuses, all kinds of people--based on WHO THEY ARE, not whether they are "amazing looking." Bertrand Russell, Henry Miller, Carl Sagan, Christopher Hitchens and Michu Kaku are just a few examples I can think of. These guys are HOT!!
If you go for some sort of pre-determined physical standard, alone, then you may end up with a person you really cannot talk to, cannot learn from, cannot depend on, cannot bear to be around (when the looks fade, as they inevitably will), and someone who may have the same poor character standards, and who will abandon you when a "cuter" person comes onto the horizon.
Oh, and the crap they serve at Subway is full of rotten animal bodies, salt, sugar, oil and there is nothing in those stores I would touch with a 10' pole.

I don't know why the OP felt that mentioning his looks was important, but I also don't think that was the meat of the post. And doesn't judging what a stranger eats say something about his character?
OP, I think you're over-thinking this. You've put a lot of thought into this one moment that has little to no impact on your life. Personally, I wouldn't give it a second thought, afterall, a guy eating at a fast food chain restaurant really has no business criticizing another person in line from ordering something at said restaurant. It's all bad for you, even if you think you're eating something healthy. Just be grateful he isn't in your chain of supervision.
