Temper Tantrums and Meal Time Battles

Holy sock puppets Batman! I am about fed up with trying to get my 4 year old to eat. She's incredibly picky, and meal time has become a HUGE fight. I feel like I should be armed to the nines and dressed in battle gear. My patience has quickly diminished. I honestly dont know what to do anymore, and I really feel like I'm at my wits end here.
Now, before you think I'm exaggerating, my daughter is not like those picky eaters you see on TV commercials/shows, that sit there in silence, staring at the plate that they have just pushed away. No. If there is something on her plate that she doesn't like (which is just about everything), she will cry and scream like its the end of the world. It takes two hours to get through meal time, and even then she wont finish whats on her plate. She averages maybe one bite every fifteen minutes, and that bite is only taken when her father or I tell her for the millionth time to "take a bite." I really, truely am completely out of patience. Feeding her takes up at least five hours of my day when I need to be getting other things done, and I just feel so emotionally drained after these war's that its ridiculous.
I have tried EVERYTHING to make meal time fun, and NOTHING has worked. PLEASE, I am begging you all for help and suggestions. Feel free to inbox me, I'm open to trying just about anything at this point.
