I run 80 mpw and consequently am often stuffing my face with pasta, steaks, snacks, deserts, whatever. The problem is that since I keep this stuff in my house my wife eats them as well but doesn't run 80 mpw. In fact she runs 0 mpw. I don't really want to eliminate the fun stuff from my diet, but it looks like having the stuff around encourages her to eat it. How do you handle this? Non-troll and troll responses alike are welcome.
Regardless of your mileage, you should still be eating healthy food. I don't think there is an issue with pasta and steaks. It's not like cooking pasta or a steak is mindless snacking due to proximity. Instead of buying unhealthy snacks and deserts, why not find some mutually enjoyable foods that you can both enjoy in moderation?
My wife runs as much as I do, but we still try to eat healthy foods because we have three kids and we don't want them thinking it is normal to binge on a pint of Ben & Jerry's every night. One solution is to get lowfat frozen yogurt and have that around. Another is to put frozen fruit on top of regular yogurt and eat that like ice cream.
Have a lot of fresh fruit, dried fruit, and other things around. Stop the processed foods. Just because you run doesn't mean those won't kill you.

I handle it by not being a dictatorial, judgmental prick about how my wife decides to feed herself.
I just eat whatever she makes because she's an excellent cook!
As a vegan I have to tell people to f off (of course it's for the animals) and carb the f up.
Is this a nice way of saying your wife is getting fat?

Sounds like it
Eat it all....then defecate hard, in front of her, near the remaining food, with a prolonged gassssp of pleasssure.... that will put her off.
I hide my eating habits just like I hide my drinking.
xD
Get her a bone to chew on or somethin.
If you’re concerned about your wife’s weight, I suppose you could take charge of grocery shopping and cooking and supply the house with healthier food options. Obviously sitting her down and saying “Honey, I’m concerned about your growing waistline” isn’t going to work. When you need junk food, just buy it on demand. That way the Oreos aren’t within arm’s reach of your wife when she’s sitting on the couch.
My wives do all the grocery shopping and cooking. They do a great job satisfying me so I try not to micromanage them in the kitchen.
Tell her she needs to start running with you or doing another form of exercise
