BewareOfCat2 answered Wednesday March 3 2004, 7:04 pm: Well if you are 11 (I am 12) then I don't think you should be worrying too much about losing weight. I understand what you mean by you do't like food. SOmetimes all I feel like eating is juice but I know that if I don't it could hurt me so I try to eat. I agree with not eating the cafetaria food so you should prbablt just bring your own lunch. If you don't mind the people telling you you are skinny then there isn't much to worry about but try to make yous you eat enough. [ BewareOfCat2's advice column | Ask BewareOfCat2 A Question ]

At eleven, you're still growing like mad (I remember horrible growing pains in my knees at night that would make me cry to sleep) and if you don't get enough vitamins and things, you could harm your organs later on. Iron is very vital to your reproductive health, and calcium is needed to fill the gaps in the bones you're growing. 90 pounds doesn't sound overwight to an 11-year old to me. If you can't stand the thought of school food or whatever's at home, try out new foods. There are all sorts of fantastic exotic foods that may tempt your palette. Once you find something you like, you will feel just fine again. Be very careful not to abandon food completely because you need it, remember!
Some of my favorite "exotic" foods are Indian curry, sushi, mexican food, pita bread with ham and lettuce inside, bagels with cream cheese and salmon, and stir-fried veggies. experiment until you find something new and tasty you like. [ koshii's advice column | Ask koshii A Question ]
foxshadow answered Monday March 1 2004, 7:22 pm: You don't like food? Food's my best friend! ~_^ Anyway....as much as you believe you are not anorexic, you much just be. Even in the smallest bit. You're not underweight; I had friends when I was eleven who were roughly 75 pounds! And if you don't want to eat school food (I can't really blame you, judging by my school's lunches...) then start to bring your own. Try to eat a little, even if it's just an apple, at first. (But don't gorge yourself on junk foods!) Talk to a parent or other adult if you still dislike food. [ foxshadow's advice column | Ask foxshadow A Question ]

If you're concerned about the food in your cafeteria...maybe it's time to start packing a lunch everyday. This way, you can eat the portions that you want and you wont have to worry about hair or anything in your food.
DruidX answered Monday March 1 2004, 6:40 am: So your question is? I would suggest talking to a trused adult about how you feel, and in the meantime take some vitamin suppliments. Not wanting to eat [or just being to lethargic to eat] can also be a symptiom of depression. Is there anything going on in your life where this might be the case?
