I would urge you not to overreact to your son's food issues. My second boy went through a food thing at the age of two where he absolutely refused to eat anything but bacon for almost two months.

I was ready to tear out my hair, since I tried to MAKE him eat something else, tried refusing to feed him bacon, etc, etc. He finally decided one day that other foods were okay after all.

Just be patient.

Ther is no way you can win a battle with a child over food. My parents both had sever control issues and were personally affronted by the picky eating habits I had as a child. It became a battle of control that continues to rage. NEVER allow your self to fall victum to a battle of wills like this. If you can be patient, most toddlers will outgrow it. If you are concerned about nutrition or if it may be a symptom of autism, ask the dr. But food battles, you will lose them.
