Call me a hippie if you may, but i belive in eating healthy, you know organic foods, nothing that can give you cancer (like sucralose a.k.a Splenda) well anywase i’m only 13 and i go to a waldorf school. Its really changed my perspective on life (i joined in 5th grade) but my parents or vrother won’t listen to me when i try to tell the that fast food plaes are bad, or non-organic strawberries, stuff like that. I don’t know how to get them to listen to me. I get mad at them when my dad does things like buys energy drinks and diet sodas for my brother, or when they get McDonalds because they don’t feel like cooking; then they yell at me because they don’t ike me getting mad at them. i don’t know. but how do i get them to listen to me.

You’re not listening to them either.
They’re telling you that at this time, convenience is more important than their health.
Do you want to be the chef for the family.
You can’t make them listen. Don’t get angry with them. You can make suggestions of healthier alternatives.
You can lead by example. If you take the initiative and tell them that you want to plan, shop and cook dinner two nights a week, they’ll probably let you.
If the food tastes good, they will want to eat it more often.
Also, you can give them bits of trivia daily such as: remember to wash those non organic strawberries, since pesticides penetrate into their skin - yum yum, poison.

It is fine if you want to live that way but your they are grown and can live how ever they want. You need to stop trying to tell your parents how to live. That is rude and disrespectful.

You’re asking how to MAKE them listen to you, when you’re trying to tell them how to live their life.
I think you should lay off a little. Fast food isn’t a death sentence. If you want them to eat home-cooked meals every day, than you should learn to cook.
They are fully entitled to eat what they want. My advice for you would be to listen, and hear both sides of the story. You’ve been force-fed propaganda on how much better organic food is for you than fast food, and you should take a step back and actually examine it. Do they eat it every day. Do they drink nothing but soda, eat nothing but burgers. If so, then you might have a point, especially if they force you to eat it as well. But in moderation, like anything, fast food is fine. Ask any expert.(By expert, I don’t mean your teacher)
