Answers:
When I was 11-20 years old the only kind of food group I was interested in was JUNK FOOD!!
This is what I eat now because the amount of JUNK FOOD made me obese and I was diagnosed Type II Diabetic.
These are recipe I've created for my diet as a Diabetic.
These are a few of my favorites!!

healthy but quick and easy
McDonald's currently offers healthy food choices.
khjgjh
their is the correct spelling. that age group doesn't yet experience the disasters of poor eating, so it's hard to sell them on healthy eating.
my cousins have takeaway if its on offer.
id cook a home cooked pasta meal.
they'll either eat it or they wont
thats what teenagers are like
well i like a sweet potatoe with buttter,cinnamon, and brown sugar on it with a side of steak and some brocolie with salt and pepper sounds delicious
I prefer nice home cooked meals to take aways anyway, I'm 18. You can't beat something that's been cooking for ages and you can smell it before you eat it, makes you real hungry. plus, it's alot healthier, which is always a plus, right?
Burgers and pizza. Sad but true.
i'm 17 and fi am looking for anything that doesn't taste like wax, and that is pretty good for you.
I'm 16 and I eat healthy foods (though with plenty of meat...I love meat) and NO processed foods, such as hot pockets and shake and bake...All the food I make I make from scratch, and when I eat out I only eat good chinese food and no deep fried food.
And "BrendaWise", don't judge each and every young person based upon only what you hear and see. That just makes you look very stupid and biased. And, apparently, you are. Oh, and congratulations. You can spell. Have a nice day.
green day fan has shown how punk rock he is by professing his love for a sweet potatoe with buttter,cinnamon, and brown sugar on it with a side of steak and some brocolie with salt and pepper
mmmmmmmmm, fancy
I want a healthy diet. It would be good if it tastes good, but it doesn't have to. But I think I am in the minority here. When we did a survey in my language arts class, there were like two people who didn't eat at McDonald's. Everyone was all like, "but it's really good!" So I think that they eat what tastes good while they have the metabolism that keeps them skinny, and then when they hit twenty-five they don't have it anymore and they just get fat. A nice sort of justice for me.
I doubt many 11 year olds have the means to pay for delivered food.
probably the same thing they were when you were a kid. fast, easy, bad for you.

It shouldn't matter what they are looking for. The important thing is if you are cooking for them, they should eat it with gratitude. I have two boys who never used to eat anything unless it came from the freezer or a packet.
Nowadays, they love home made meals best like curries, lasagne, pizza, casseroles and roasts. Basically, if you cook a sliced pork loin in some apricot compote with a good dash of cider and balsamic vineger then add some fresh herbs and salt and pepper. Serve with seasoned rice and they will love it. Just tell them it has alcohol in it!
Good luck!
should be homemade much better 4 you.
Home cooked food, so they can be educated against takeaway meals. Try Pasta, Shepherds Pie etc
