Our son, who is becoming heavier refuses to eat veggies and fruit. I leave out fruit and veggies, to snack on, but he turns his nose up at it.
I have a delema though, my 14yr old son, is very skinny. 95lbs and I need to keep high calorie foods around for him. Mind you, not cookies, candy and unhealthy things, yogurt, shakes and things like that.
My 11yr is very active, though the Dr. has not tested his thyroid for any problems. I have seen children that are heavy and all of a sudden shoot up in height and the weight/flab disappears.
Should I be concern? How do I get him interested in healthy foods?

Take away the snacks. Then feed him whatever you want to with the rule that if he does not eat everything that has been served to him, he will get it for the next meal. Also give him a time limit, and don't give in. Eventually, he will be hungry enough to eat what you serve.
