[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Husband has a masters in engineering and can think logically. I really don’t understand why he eats so much shitty food. It might be stubbornness, willful ignorance, or a disdain for “hippy granola types” (my words not his).  I’ve told him many times what I thought of his diet and seems like it made him double down. I think his family all ate whatever they wanted, smoked and drank heavily and stayed reasonably fit due to genes and haven’t died early. Maybe he associates eating healthy to weakness or he’s in denial about how terrible is diet is and just don’t want to give up the junk he’s addicted to. I don’t know.

OP, I think a lot of the problem is in your presentation. You've used every negative word to describe his diet (it disgusts you), his family's habits, his "addiction" to unhealthy food. Frankly, he's probably digging his heels in just to p*ss you off at this point. Also, from what you've described being OK with eating, I wouldn't call you a 'health nut' either. Certainly healthier than his diet, but most of what you've described seems not too far outside the bounds of normal. 
If you want success, change how you come at this. In your own head and how you talk to yourself, stop thinking your diet is so healthy and his is disgusting. Reframe it for yourself stopping with the dramatic overwrought language, then  you can do the same in your conversations with him and you might have better luck. [/quote]
