Sixteen children tumbled into nutritionist Kelsey Davis’s cooking class on a hot July morning, some hugging their counselors, some high-fiving the other 9- and 10-year-olds. Full of energy and opinions, they took their seats in the YMCA classroom in Boston’s Roxbury neighborhood, ready for another lesson.
Davis asked them to name their favorite fast food restaurants and what they like about that food. McDonalds. Burger King. Popeyes. 7-11. Why? The fried and crunchy choices. And “the smell is something else.”
