I think my best advice, as someone in a spot similar to your son (what with the learning and all) would be to teach them to avoid buying crap foods and make their own. Teach them how to make their own soups and stews to freeze, how to tell quality in fruits and vegetables, and breads and such. Teach them to make a variety of meals, and write down all the recepies, detailed, and start a recepie box. Teach them how to make pasta sauces, I know that's a big one for me. Sauces are huge. You need sauces for just about friggen everything, and they're SOO expencive. But some flour, milk, butter and spices, BAM alfredo sauce. Easy, fast, cheap.
Teach them that, healthy, cheap, good, easy things. If you try to teach them things they think are too hard and difficult right away, they wont absord or learn anything you're telling them at all.
