Help changing wifes mind about childs diet.


I have a 15 month old daughter. I want to bring her up on a healthy Diet and constantly enforce the importance of it.

I used to eat poorly and since I began paying attention to my health I feel that my life started over. I eliminated Depression and anxiety. My moods are far more under comtrol and the energy is just icing on the cake. I remember back to my frame of mind when I used to eat poory. I had thoughts such as if I eat healthy now it only effects me when I am old and this nutrigrain bar must be healthy because the marketing says that it is. Well due to my ignorance I lost several years of my life and the paradigm shift I experienced when I began paying attention to health was lifechanging.

My wife and her family are still in the old frame of mind that I was in. They are all very stubborn. They are wonderful people just closed minded. There diets are horrible and they complain about being tired and irritable all the time. I subtly explain that this is a diet problem, but their ears turn off. This past weekend my in-laws brought over some doughnuts for my daughter. I was frustrated, because her family knows my view on healthy eating. I said in anger "something else to make my daughter fussy". My mother in-law retorted "sugar making you cranky is a myth". Anyway the discussion went back and forth for a minute and then I had to leave for a dentist appointment. One hour later I came back and my daugher was having a meltdown and was so extremely fussy. I just wish that they could see this.

I vowed never to be a preacher. I would always be annoyed by people that engaged in the fad of the week and always tried to pressure me into it. I do want to change her families view on this I am not sure how to though. I am highlighting paragraphs in books and having my wife read them, but I am not having any luck.

Any advice would be appreciated
