Like Faisal said, when it comes to faith and religion... every person has to do their own thing and answer for their own deeds... you can encourage them to, but thats about it. Let them decide what they want to do. You can bring up roza's fazeelat and the sawab and how good it is etc. and get them to start to want to fast,, which would be great, but you simply cant force someone to fast. I dont quite get the reason why you'd be upset either. Namaz comes before roza... worry about that if you really are looking for an excuse to get angry. Bhooka rehna isnt the same as fasting.
