I have had some picky eaters and it is usually the ones that get cookies in the car every morning and afternoon. Oreo faces when they come in and mom bribing them with the cookies out loud on the way out. If you are too lazy to put any effort into feeding your own kids healthly foods I am not going to bother either. I serve only healthy foods here and if they don't like it the dont eat it. I don't even tell them what they ate, most the time they don't ask or care anyway.

I would hold off on the milk; usually if they are too dependent on milk they won't eat the other foods. And no way would I bother with baby food. Too expensive and probably not enough nutrients for a child that age/size anyway.

I think if you always conceed to your child and just give him something "to make sure he eats today" like the nugget example the kids know they will never be hungry enough to actually HAVE to try anything else. Nuggets are only a short hunger strike away.
