He will eat. Do not cave in. Parental guilt is one hell of a motivator to cave in during the "i only want to eat fishsticks" battle.
Oh, and if he says he's going to hold his breath until he turns blue, just let him.
Assuming no actual airway obstructions, if he really toughs it out, he'll pass out and start breathing again normally.
Spectacular.
Most curtainmonkeys only try it once.

Very true. The kid won't starve. Or suffocate.
I don't have this problem, since lil Sidhe will eat almost anything you put in front of her. There are a few things she won't eat, but that's probably only because it's too fast for her to catch.
Don'tcha just love the art of temper-tantrum throwing? I just ignore it when it happens, and it usually stops--or stick the kid in a room and tell them that when they're done, they can come out.
The kid'll eat. Don't worry. Why not try topping crackers with stuff, like EZ cheez, or make pizza crackers (crackers with cheese, sauce, and hamburger or something on top). Make it a game. Hell, feed him nothing but crackers. He'll get over that addiction soon enough, if that's all he gets for a year....
