Kid starting to become a picky eater

So far, our son has eaten pretty much everything., but he is getting slightly picker now. Should we force him to eat what we had cooked (he would actually eat it eventually)? Or should we give him something (healthy) instead? We fear that the more we allow him to protest, the more he will.

how old is your child? kids do get fussy at times. my kid eats the same thing as I from as young as 10 months old. his portion will be without salt, now that he is older I use a bit more seasoning and he is fine. mealtimes should be relaxed and happy and everyone should eat together. is he self feeding already? a kid won't want to go hungry, if he doesn't want to eat, remove him from the table but tell him that that will be his lunch or dinner that he is not eating and he will have to wait til the next meal time. 1-2 skipped meals is enough for him to learn that an empty stomach is not a happy thing.
