the things out of the trash that they threw away that where not trash.
THis is what I was going to say. I'd make him pick it out of the trash himself (no playing until he does). Don't make it a food battle, just teaching him respect for other peoples things and to be honest. I tell all my picky eaters when they start to complain about a certain food item. (and other kids tell them this too)
"If you don't like it, don't eat it!"
I also give my picky eaters very small portions of food I think they may not eat.
