From the MY FRIENDS ARE SMART AND/OR COOL file. Etiquette lessons from Mighty Girl:

It's not polite to push your beliefs on others unless you're holding a picket sign large enough to give fair warning that they should avoid you. In this spirit, one does not properly discuss the population explosion at the mention of a friend's pregnancy, and one does not inform a lunch partner of "exactly how much fat is in that" or the process by which the meat came to be on his or her plate.
