Hurray for you for getting your son involved in figuring out his own food needs and teaching him to approach it positively. I'm sure your guidance will serve him well throughout his life.
As for the "chicken again" comments: Maybe you could check out some Websites for children with more generally acknowledged conditions that require diet alterations, like diabetes, for example. I would think that a family with a diabetic child would run into some of the same issues. One of their support Websites could have some tips on how to handle family conflicts over food.
And I have to remember to thank my husband, who has never once complained about "our" new eating habits. He really is a treasure.
