My daugher loves candy and cookies so much...that she always begging for it everytime she open the refrigerator..then i explain to her that she can have them only on weekends other wise i take the PS away...maybe you should find what kind of food he like best...then you can make it by your own...my daughter doesnt like to eat too but she loves any kind of crunchy food,like crackers..then i put some topping on it...on the other time, i make noodle with fried dumplings...if i only make the noodle she wont eat it at all..so you must mix and match the meal with the food that your boy like best...and since she always eat in a small amount,I always  make her eat in every 2 hours...in order to get her the complete nutrition...and dont forget to give ur boy milk twice a day and vitamins which can stimulate his appetite...

I look after a boy who refuses to eat at all, i found that if you get them out doors and work off some energy and only offer one thing they will eat it. its working for me so far and no fun stuff till its eaten,

Well the advice that I can five you is take the PS away and him that he can play it if he will eat. He is not to young to be grounded. My son is a video game aholic. He will do anything to keep his games. The one thing that I have told my children is that they have to try it to see if they like it. They take one big bite infront of me and then if they don't like it I won't make them eat it. But they don't get junk food till they eat something good for them. Also try seasoning on the things you cook. Fresh herbs and spices are a great why to make his pallet dance. Raechel Ray has some good kids recipes in her cook books and so does Rocco. There are may ways to get children to eat you just have to learn the tricks.
