I went with "pay attention but ..." because it's technically true but I've also been lucky to have a kid that tends to eat relatively healthy of his own accord.
For example, he doesn't have what I would consider a typical sweet tooth & turns down dessert more often than not when it's offered (once memorably turning down double chocolate cake to finish off my wife's steamed broccoli). He eats easily 10x the variety & quantity of vegetables that I do, other than salsa & A-1 he isn't a condiment hound, has a reasonable split between soft drinks & juice, etc.
