Anorexia is a possibility. As far as him having a junk food diet, that may be mostly your fault for purchasing it. You are the one that buys the food. If he won't eat unless you buy junk food, then he is blackmailing your guilt complex. Don't buy what you don't want him to eat. If he gets hungry he will eat whatever you have in the house. If he doesn't eat alot of food, then make the food he does eat healthy choices. Yes, eating a bad diet as well as not eating at all may become a habit and will eventually effect his overall health, his growth pattern, his bone and muscle health and his memory and learning. Have your doctor give you a referral to a nutritionist to set up a healthy diet that he will eat. Get a referral to see a psychologist who specializes in teenagers to make sure he isn't suffering from Anorexia. Please realize that this may not be as bad as you fear. People can eat a perfectly healthy diet without it seeming to be. Y
You can lose feelings of hunger overtime from not eating, just like you can always be hungry if you overeat.
Since I am not a doctor I can't tell you what is exactly wrong with him as it could be just part of growing up, him being fussy or bullheaded, or an organic medical condition.
You may even want to consider anorexia (it can occur in males even though it is much more common in females)
