OP,

You haven't really told us any relevant facts:
1. BMI? Percentile in height and weight for his age?
2. Does he seem to only think about food?
3. Does he gulp his food or eat very quickly?
4. Does he eat more when stressed, anxious, before a big event?
5. Does he seem to have or has he expressed a loss of control when he starts to eat?

Right now we have no idea whether what you're describing is normal or not.[/quote]

he thinks about food alot, and yes he eats very quickly and barely chews, especially veggies he just swallows them as if they're poison.

he definitely has no control in front of food, e.g. he'd get really upset if little sister even hinted to want something on his plate.[/quote]

Control is a skill that you learn through practice.

How often has he had control of his diet?  Not for one meal, but on an ongoing basis for months at a time?  Stop hovering over his food for a year.  Not a day or a week, but a year, and then see where you are.  [/quote]
