    I wouldn't complain at all. It's good that he does not want the processed foods. I would just keep giving him his fruits and vegetable and water. As long as you can get him enough fiber and protein, I would just let him eat what he likes and not push the not so good foods..

    Just keep putting new things in front of him and with time he will find stuff he likes. Patience!! I have a 7 year old that is the same way. I read a wonderful post here a while back that says you have to put a new food in front of a child 15 - yes, 15 times before he is ready to try it. I tried it with Green Beans and now my 7 year old eats them!! Patience....

    Taste buds will continue to change. Keep offering him whatever you are eating. I only wish my kids would eat veggies!
