Very simply, your husband needs to be a good roll model for the kids. There are lots of things I don't like, but when eating with my daughter I eat everything and expect her to do the same. It is very hard to get kids to eat properly and if they see one parent not eating properly then it makes it even more difficult. Flat out tell him, that even if he doesn't care about his health and dying at age 50 because of the crap he eats that's fine with you, but he must be a role model for the kids so that they don't end up like him.

No better response has ever stated (as well as Chefwriter's after I went back and read it)! I would suggest that it's up to your husband to "come to the table" for the sake of his children and not you to conform. May take a while if he's been been raised on sausage rolls all his life. Then again I had a good friend who only ate peanut butter sandwiches growing up, but eventually he did "outgrow" his compulsion. Maybe there's some middle ground there?
