I have it on good authority that he will not actually starve.
He will eat. Do not cave in. Parental guilt is one hell of a motivator to cave in during the "i only want to eat fishsticks" battle.
Oh, and if he says he's going to hold his breath until he turns blue, just let him.
Assuming no actual airway obstructions, if he really toughs it out, he'll pass out and start breathing again normally.
Spectacular.
Most curtainmonkeys only try it once.
