If you don't give him anything else but healthy food, he won't know the other stuff exists!

Stear clear of fast food outlets, its more difficult when kids get older because of peer pressure however if you start now they should be a healthy eater before this kicks in. Make meal times a family occasion all sitting at the table together and with luck he/she will want to eat what everone else is having.

Luckily I have never eaten at fast food joints myself so I wouldn't buy food from these places for my son. The problem is that all he wants to eat is spaghetti without sauce just butter and cheese, (his dad is Italian)!

I used to put zucchini through a mixer, add some cream, and then give this as a sauce for pasta. They always loved it. I also used to give lots of fingerfoods on a plate. Kids love this. Some carrots sticks, cheese, cubes of ham, ... You can also make pizza with healthy toppings (as his father is Italian...). Perhaps you should serve the same meal for father and child? (well, it could be just a snack for the father, but then he gives a good example). Anything that is not liked, just keep on reintroducing, one day they will eat it. The mixed zucchini sauce is has become a favourite zucchini stir fry with onions, garlic, paprika and "lardons fumé".

best advice I had was not to make an issue just keep calmly trying to introduce new foods. Hope all goes well as it can be a worry i know.
