I don't see it as a power struggle and personally don't care if the child eats or not but the family eating habits will not revolve around one's child's "intolerances".

Eating "intolerances" is too much like chore "intolerances" or public behavior "intolerances".

It looks like a path for a child not to do what they are told and to get away with it.

What they do or do not want to eat as adults is up to them but as a child they will have the choice of eating what is put before them or not to eat. Food will always be available regardless.
