What Way Can I Make My 7 Year Old Son To Eat Meat And Vegetables ?

We have a 7 yr. old boy who refuses to eat meat, veggies(except cucumber) and fruit. He will not eat a sandwich,but will have 1/4 cup or so of certain cereals. Sweets or candy is not a problem, but he doesn t get those very often. The child is extremely intelligent,testing in the 98th percentile overall. Does anyone have any ideas that may help???
