I don't like the idea of using food, or a lack of food, as punishment. As others have said, it can lead to eating disorders later. However, in families trapped in power struggles over food (which is usually symptomatic of power struggles over everything) I don't see a problem with tell a child, "This is what's for dinner. Eat it or wait until breakfast." No one is going to starve if they miss a meal.
