You know what bothers me most is when kids today are entitled to their own food. (This isn't directed at you)
Back in my day, I ate what was on the table, or I didn't eat. We coddle too much these days. Hell, I even had to eat Liver and onions when I was a kid because that was my dad's favorite. Once a week.
I never really understood the whole "eat what I make or nothing," thing. It's one thing to give your kid cereal or cake for dinner because you're lazy but I can cook a steak and a piece of chicken at the same time. So if I want steak and my kid wants chicken, why the fuck not?

Disliking green bell peppers should be normal. It's a fucking unripe fruit. Like eating completely green bananas or green tomatoes(yes, they are good breaded and deep fried...but what isn't?). Why would anyone taste a ripened red pepper then think they want an objectively worse version?
Yes, green bell peppers are cheaper. Don't care, they offer so little in taste besides some mild grassiness. Same goes for jalapenos. Green jalapenos are just horrible. Ripened red jalapenos are great, it's a shame they are so rare since most are turned chipotles(which are great too, but totally different).

Well, that's fine too. "Hey sport, I am cooking two things tonight. Steak or Chicken - which one?" "Steak thanks Dad!" is WAY different than, "Hey I am cooking Steak and Chicken tonight, what do you want" "I do not like any of that. I want pizza or (Insert food here) and then parents will not cook the chicken or steak any longer and bend to the whim of their kid. It isn't so much about what is for dinner. It's about teaching "Sometimes, you have to do things you are told". The bend to the whim will just bring about a sack of entitled brats. Which, obviously, are what we are seeing now with these pussified Millenials.
I mean hell, look at this whole Angelina Jolie Brad Pitt thing. Jolie gives those little whiners whatever they want for dinner. Brad Pitt thought otherwise. End result? One of the asshole kids gets in the Dad's face and never learned respect or the line drawn because there never was one. brad tries to teach the line, ends up getting hammered and driving a fuel truck off the tarmack at International Falls Airport in Minnesota. Now they are getting divorced and we will see 6 entitled asshats enter society thanks for Jolie giving them whatever they wanted for dinner.
I've seen in a hundred times.
Moral of the story? Feed those little bastards what YOU are making for dinner. If they say no? Send them upstairs. They will be back down in 45 minutes asking for a treat and you can warm up their dinner, watch them eat it, and stave that "I am the center of the universe" garbage right off in the ass... Pronto!

I'm just more concerned about nutrition and getting him to like relatively decent foods. I definitely don't let him eat just anything, but I present a list of good options and let him pick. I also knew a bunch of kids who endured years of eating food they hated because their parents made them. Then once they got out on their own they whaled up and had horrible horrible diets because they finally got to eat what tasted good so I'm hoping to avoid that.

Because if you do that your kid grows up scared to try new food because they "might not like it". They grow up into Trex or Noodle.
Its a handicap. I want my kids to be able to walk into a dinner party and eat whats served and enjoy it. To walk into a restaurant and order anything off the menu and like it. Like a normal person. Not to be scared of eating things that might have a new flavor they havent encountered before.
I worked with a guy for many years who literally every day ate chicken nuggets and peanut M&Ms. Every day, no exceptions. We all went out to a work dinner once at a decent restaurant that didnt serve chicken nuggets. This dude had a seriously hard time finding something to even order and I'm pretty sure he didnt actually eat it once it arrived.
My kids wont have that affliction, I am determined.

What a bizarre and arbitrary set of rules! Some foods can be picked and eaten at different stages of ripeness. There isnt one correct stage to eat each product. Do you hate green olives too? Pickled green mangos? Small zucchinis? Squash flowers? Green beans? Snap peas? All of these mature into different and equally useful stages but are also delicious picked early.

Green bell peppers offer nothing except being cheaper.
I haven't tried most of the food you listed, can't offer an opinion there. The analogy on ripeness was admittedly off. I still think green bell pepper is pointless.

I knew plenty of kids who devolved into a diet of nuggets and M&Ms as adults because they were tortured with liver and onions or go hungry all the time at home. So it works both ways. My son tries quite a bit of stuff and while I still consider him picky, I rarely have trouble going somewhere and finding stuff he will eat.

My girlfriend is an utter terror in the kitchen(in a bad way). Luckily I love cooking and she is not picky at all, when it comes to food.

Liver is great if you cook it right. There is a way to suck out all the bitterness. My boss taught me about it in the kitchen and it escapes my mind right now....she made some decent liver and onion. Maybe it's the sweetness of the onion that dims the bitterness of the liver. Combination of both flavour make for some epic dinner.
Plus liver is cheap.
