What you should do next is quit stressing so much. If he has a few things that he likes to eat that are healthy - be happy. Feed him those things and then introduce others- but make sure he always has some of the "favorites" at each meal so that he will eat SOMETHING! and something new. And yes-it is probably about texture and LOTS of young childen won't eat meat. My 14 year old has never really gotten over that- for her it was (and still is) totally a texture thing. My other kids ate bits of deli meat that I tore into small pieces- not chunks of meat but slices. And kids this age are perfectly happy to eat the same thing for days on end- then they move on to other stuff. Just keep trying things- 12 months is still REALLY young. Lots of 12 month old babies are still eating nothing but baby food. Also his food capacity will really drop off around now- so he will be eating less- practically nothing it will seem. Good luck.
