Because it’s put in front of their face it would be awkward to turn it down. My spouse is very quiet and she was unable to speak up because she is shy

I cant speak to you spouses social issues. But its pretty easy to decline a beer, an unhealthy snack or another whole whopping plateful you mother i law needs to see you eat to feel good about herself etc. You should be angrier at the social pressures ppl use to make others unhealthy.

You are just speaking for yourself. It’s not easy. Peer pressure does exist. And my spouse is shy. I am a pretty confident person, I still get pressured into consuming things that are not healthy. Nobody is ever encouraged by others to eat a salad. Misery loves company

Right and thats a "self harm" issue if it leading to obesity etc No different that an alcoholic accepting a beer. And people need to see it like that instead of pretending its just a cutesy whootsey body positive thing.

An alcoholic wouldn’t have booze brought in for their birthday. All the people my spouse works with talk about being on a diet. If I keep chocolate in my home I can’t sleep without eating it all before bed. I used to smoke and cigarettes had less of a hold on me.
