Teenagers and food around the world .

Kyoko, 15, Japan

I love fast food like burgers and pizza and most of my friends are the same. When we meet up at the weekends, we often go to the shopping mall and have a burger and fries. My parents are more traditional though and we still like to have fish, rice and vegetables when we're at home.

Brad, 16, USA

I do a lot of sport so I'm always hungry. I know it's important to eat healthily when you're exercising so I try to have lots of fresh stuff and pasta for energy but I like fast food too. What teenager doesn't?! I know a lot of people think we eat too much here in the States but I don't think that's true.

Joanna, 14, England

I come from a big family and it's a tradition in our house that we all get together for Sunday lunch. My mum's a brilliant cook and she usually does a roast: chicken, beef or lamb. I'm a vegetarian though so she has to do something different for me, but I love all the delicious roast potatoes and fresh vegetables!

Giulia, 16, Italy

I love cooking, especially pasta dishes. Pasta is always much better at home than in a restaurant. And it's so easy and quick. My favourite is spaghetti with olive oil and lots of pepper. It sounds boring but it's delicious.
