"Wife's a great cook "

I think you've succinctly expressed one of the core issues that we have as individuals and as a society: we love tasty food more than we love healthy food. We generally consider meals that derive flavor from fats and sugars as great/tasty/enjoyable while we relegate more healthy options as that which we only eat to either make up for or "save calories for" the meals that we really enjoy.

Not necessarily - overeating is the real issue. Wife may cook those alfalfa sprouts to perfection. He just eats a bushel.

I'd like to hear from someone who got fat eating too many vegetables that weren't covered in oils or other toppings.
