The solution:

<?php
$in_subcategory = false;
foreach( (array) get_term_children( 11, 'category' ) as $child_category ) {
if(in_category($child_category))$in_subcategory = true;
}

if ( $in_subcategory || in_category( 11 ) ) {
echo '<span class="fruits">This is about different kinds of fruits</span>';
} else {
echo '<span class="bad-cat">Not tasty! Not healthy!</span>';
}
?>

Figures I find the answer right after asking for help 🙂 Hope this helps someone else!!

Update: I’ve tried half a dozen themes and in all of them – the categories lead to the desired category and not the homepage.

So my question is: What, in a theme, could cause the category links to redirect to the homepage? I’m at a loss…
