Why do most teenagers like take out food, when others in the neighborhood want to buy your good cooking.?

a lot of neighbors love my cooking, home down to earth cooking, from turkeys wings bbq chicken , ribs, fresh greens


seafood salad , cakes, fried fish , smoke neckbones with rice and so on. whats up with these teens.Why do most teenagers like take out food, when others in the neighborhood want to buy your good cooking.?
There really is something about a home cooked meal. Restaurants are just so generic. *sniffs the air* Did you say fresh greens and fried fish? I can't believe they are missing this! They will live to regret it.Why do most teenagers like take out food, when others in the neighborhood want to buy your good cooking.?
im assuming their taste buds are still developing. i use to be the same way when i was a teen
when i go out it is just more convinent at that exact moment. but i would MUCH rather have a home cooked meal. and i love to cook so yeah...but i do see teens who go out all the time and its like...seriously.....there are so many better choices for you. i am not a teen but i was about 2 years ago so i still can relate to this question. i cant stand how many resturants (esp fast food) dont seem to have fresh vegetables. when i bite into a burger, i want my lettuce to crunch, not just go all wilty on me...bleh
#1. Because they CAN. #2. Because their parents are probably paying for it. #3. They've gotten ';picky'; %26amp; spoiled over the years- and wouldn't touch a vegetable or anything HEALTHY- if you paid them. %26amp; #4. They can do ALL their eating- standing over a garbage can, without having to do ANY of the food preparation, clean-up, or disposal of the waste (Unless you're REALLY nimble about getting them to take out the trash- as they're high-tailing it out the door!). :)
It's called independence. Teenagers pick their own foods at a take-out. Even though they may sit at Taco Bell and talk about what a great cook you are, they will still choose the TB Burrito. Go figure.
1.because they are teens 2.They like to gather together. Wish I could eat at your house.
thats kids for you. I'm sure if you went out all the time they would be begging you to cook.
dunno. i hate fast food. i havent had a frie since i was 13. and i havent had pizza since i was 14. home made cooking is always best!
its faster most of the time. taste good, but itll probaly be the death of us lol
It depends on the way they are brought up





Your cooking sounds good =)
they call it style and ram bunches, ha.''
I don't know. I'm a teen. I prefer my Mom's home cooking. But if I'm out and about I prefer fast food. It easier than going home to eat when you want to go and run some more.
I think they just want freedom and sometime you just get tired of eating at home. You could take your kids out a couple of time and maybe they will get sick of fast food. Sometime fast food just taste better ,but at the same time your kids should be thankful you cook. Sometimes I have to cook for myself ,but I am use to it. Hey can I come over and you can make me some bbq chicken and ribs , just joking ,but your food sounds better than my food at home . Or it could be possible they want to get away from home. I go out with my friends to go get fast food. If they were to add up the cost of food and had to buy there own food then they will probably realized how lucky they are. You sound like a person who enjoys to cook. Don't let it get to you . Keep up the great work.
no time to waste making it so why not go out and buy it its cheaper and faster
