Once they hit 2 they start getting picky and they start deciding they have a favorite thing, with my daughter its hot dogs and cheese. she's eat it for breakfast lunch and dinner if we let her. Our son is a little easier to please, as long as he has some sort of fruit he'll eat whatever else we give him most of the time.

I think we're actually doing better than you make it sound. They hardly touch veggies but they'll eat fruit until it's coming out their ears. They get one cup of 100% juice a day and never anything like kool-aid. They only occasionally get things like chips, cookies, or fruit snacks. And yeah lunch is usually hot dogs, but they get more of a variety for dinner.
