Adding variety to your child's food is important. Be it visual or moving to Continental dishes. My wife ensures one visually interesting dish every day.

Hi Monika, You will need to take firm decisions. Limit junk to maybe 2 days a week or 3 meals in a week. Tell him firmly that he has to follow it. ALso, have a conversation with him on how junk can damage his health. Start cooking his favourite foods such as burgers or pizza or pasta at home using good ingredients such as wholwheat base, veggies etc. hope this helps.
