Almost any food can be converted by substituting low fat, fat free or sugar free ingredients for the regular ones called for in the recipe. (i.e. if you're making a pizza, use a whole wheat crust and low-fat mozzarella cheese instead of the full-fat cheese and crust made with white flour). If you're making cokies, use sugar substitute and egg substitute for white sugar and eggs.
I don't recommend doing this though. I really can't pronounce half the stuff that's in these fat free, sugar free foods. Lots of chemicals. if I don't know what it is, I'm not going to eat it.

Get whole wheat pizza dough (Trader Joes, $.99), pizza sauce (any market) very limited cheese (but good for calcium) and lots of sliced veggies... the more colors, the better. Assemble pizza and bake in oven... a pizza stone is nice but not essential.
For fries, cut potato wedges, lightly coat with olive oil (a mister tool is best , but i usually just mix in a bowl with a little oil) aND SPRINKLE WITH SALT, PEPPER AND HERBS IF YOU WISH. Bake at 350 degrees in cookie tray for 15 - 20 mins or until crispy on outside, tender in middle.

For pizza instead of sauce use diced tomato, and top with organic cheese and fresh veggies. As for sweets I just bought some "Whole Grain Chips Ahoy" the other day that are pretty good. Or skip the cookies and cakes altogether and serve just tangy fruits like strawberries, mangoes, or green apples.

If you mean how to make it yourself to resemble junk food but be healthier...
We buy Trader Joe's pizzas (4.99) and top them ourselves with chopped onions, feta, peppers, roasted eggplant; The new 1/2 meat 1/2 soy burgers topped at home with red peppers, onions, cucumbers and avo with a strong mustard is way better than burger kings. Pretzels with hummus are as good as french fries. Healthy food done right tastes better than junk food! Bon appetit!!

Good guacamole receipe...Two ripe avocados, a pinch of white salt, garlic powder (not salt), black pepper, and about 1.5 - 2 tablespoons of regular mayo. You can also add onions, peppers, garlic etc. Mash/blend in a bowl, serves about 4 people and delicious.
