I always make sure to provide two meal options for the picky eaters in my house. (1) take it. (2) leave it. The extra prep is minimal, I assure you.

Great, I'll try selling those options to my spouse who is having issues with low iron right now and for which cooking an additional meal option for the week is not an option.

The "my way or the highway" approach is only really valid when children are involved so that advice is quite limited in terms of value.

May I suggest these to your spouse?

I have to take iron but I struggled for many years, most iron pills cause me lots of digestive distress. These ones don't, at all. I even can take them on an empty stomach. Pretty much a godsend.

That works for kids, not spouses. It also doesn't work for medically indicated diets. (If one of your kids has allergies, etc.)
