My DS6 is a fussy eater, and always has been. We tend to follow child led eating. When I was a child I had to eat whatever was put in front of me- it was torture. All force feeding did was create a hatred of certain foods My son only likes five different vegetables, so he eats a lot of them, spread between lunch and dinner. He eats one piece of fruit a day (I rather he eat veggies than fruit). I have explained about the healthy food pyramid, so is pretty good at making healthy choices. He also doesn't enjoy most red meat products, so he eats fish and chicken.
He didn't have any junk food until he was nearly four; and now he only has it about five times a year. He has never had any soda (I believe Americans call it). The same will go for my 15 month old.
