I can't help but jump in here also...
You ARE the parent. You make the majority of the decisions! You can include him in special treats or meals.. I have four children who ask ALOT......they would like bagels, doughnuts, and pancakes. But I know how they make me feel, so I just don't keep that in the house, it can't be good for them either. My oldest(8th grader) craves white bread, and angel hair pasta! So about once a month I make a nice "Italian dinner". It's "a treat!"

It's hard for me to look at my two year old who wants to eat Goldfish crackers by the gallon, but again, I know what this will do to her in the long run. So again. We get a small bag as a treat once in a while.

Children won't starve! I'm a firm believer in putting choices out there for them to decide on, just make sure that any choice they have will be a good one.

For example... You can make a crepe type pancake with eggs, cream, water, splenda. Mix it up very thin. Fry it up quickly. Fill with blueberries and whipped cream.
LOW CARB, Sweet, maybe this with some ham would please your son.???
