It's hardly an unreasonable goal to want them to eat what is put on their plate while learning to eat all kinds of food, specifically what the rest of the family is eating.
Believe me, having a kid with Asperger's I understand where you're coming from. There are some foods (many actually, including hot dogs with lines) that he's picky about because the textures and tastes are just plain off-putting to him. But I don't think we do him any favors by not serving him what we're having. We try to make sure there's always something that he'll like on the plate, but otherwise as a general rule, "this is what we're having tonight. Make the best of it without complaining." If he leaves too much food on his plate, well, that hungry feeling he has later will teach him to eat what's put in front of him.
And I still say there is no excuse for these kid's rudeness, which is the major problem. Mom and dad are doing them no favors letting them get away with that.
