My oldest son went through the same thing with something else. Wanted to eat that and only that. He didn't pitch a fit or act out, but he just acted like he wasn't hungry and woudn't eat unless we gave him his food obsession. He'd go for a long time without eating, too.

One of our best friends is a pediatrician. The only time we asked him for free advice was then. He just laughed and said a lot of, if not most, kids go through a food obsession at about that age. He said there's nothing wrong with it, and that as long as the food is reasonably healthy and low fat, go ahead and give him whatever he wants. So we did. He ate like a champ, was a happy camper, and grew out of it in no time.

Just let him eat through his food obsession and tell funny stories about it when he hits his teen years and is trying to impress the babes.
