I have two within that age gap. As it's school holidays the eldest is always out so half the time he's having meals at friends places or buying out.
As he's always been fairly diet and fitness conscience he will opt for a healthy meal option where possible ie. burger minus the fries, subway and will often tell me when he's had something unhealthy with a look of disappointment on his face .
Often where they go is dictated by the group. It's expensive and he knows it but I'd rather him be active and social than sit infront of the X Box all day.
As for home we've never had fastfood for lunch so they never ask. I'd stay firm on that one if I were you and hopefully he'll drop the asking.
With that said however he'd not be far off from being more independant and out and about so what he eats is less in your control.
In the mean time perhaps make him something nice like a baguette, cold rolls or a wrap 2 or 3 times a week when you're making your lunch and give him some suggestions and tips so he makes his own the rest of the time. This way he gets some variety and learns that lunches made at home don't have to be boring.
Not insinuating you make boring lunches here but even I fall into that trap with my own lunches.
