I don't know if the Venomous Husband is like me, but the only nutritional advice I can remember from growing up is "you are what you eat." After forty one years of my mother drumming this into my head, the woman still can't figure out why I avoid eating fruits, vegetables, nuts and chicken whenever possible. Since I turned forty, I have started eating those green things in the grocery store. You know, blecholi and stuff like that. Raw or steamed, it's actually pretty good even before you add butter or cheese sauce. I don't yet have a statistically valid study to confirm this, but from my own observations, my intelligence seems unchanged. Here is the simple solution to your problems. Offer to take half the fruits and veggies off the VH's plate while the kids aren't looking, if the VH will eat half of your steak. To keep the kids from seeing this, you should kiss VH on the lips at the dinner table. This will cause the little darlings to go, "Ew!!! Gross!!!" and enter a catatonic state for at least an hour.

Food-colored tofu cut to shape? LOL! That's a hard one to replace. I don't think they make soy steaks.... Hmmm – get a bunch of soy burgers, thaw them and make them steak-shaped?
