My son is 15 years old and he only eats chips, fried meat, sheppards pie, spanish ommelet, spanish or chopped ham sandwiches, bananas and actimel. He's 1.80m tall and he's a size 18 for trousers. He used to eat a few more things, but I guess he is just tired of them and won't try anything new. We live in Gibraltar and in about 3 years time he will go to UK to University (hopefully) I am desperate as I cannot find an appropriate help here and I would like to have this problem sorted out before he leaves home. What can I do? He is a very clever boy and received some eating education and school and I have also tried to speak with him. He says he understands that he needs to eat other things, but he does not try............ PLEASE HELP ME!

say to him that if he dosnt start eating green vegetables then he has a very high chance of getting diabetes by the time he is 20 and will have to inject himself in his belly three times a day. if he dosnt like needles that should scare him into eating more healthly, which would be a good start.
