I'll try to be straighforward, but sorry, this will be a bit long. And a bit mexican soap opera-ish.

It is inappropriate for them to be doing what they are doing to you. Sounds like your mom could use www.motherinlawstories.com you can too as there is a lot of people dealing with in-laws doing this exact stuff. A lot of good advice there how to deal with it.
Tearing your mother down on front of you shows they don't care about you or your feelings. And so your dad goes to the store alone? He is a grown man he can do that. And if they thought your mom couldn't handle managing the house the proper thing to do would be to offer help not tear the person further down.
You do NOT have to tell them your family's business. You do NOT have to go to lunch with them, just tell them "I am afraid that isn't possible" lather rinse repeat if they ask why. You don't have to 'jade' either -justify, argue, defend, explain. And to give you grief for going to lunch with your own mother is more bs!
Have you tried telling your parents how all this is affecting you? I see where you say you have trouble -trywith showing them your post. Copy and paste it in notepad, explain you have trouble with saying this kind of thing and ask them to read it. If they still don't put their foot down you will have to learn to develop a spine and skin that will help protect yourself from their poison.
Good luck! Feel free to email me if you just need an ear to listen.
You have to be very strong here and also brutally honest.
The next time they invite you for lunch tell them that you don´t want to go, because you are sick and tired of them interrogating you to get information to get fuel for their hatred and because you are not going to take any side in this fight.
To be honest they don´t much about love and they are using you as an informer and
