Who would have thought it could be harmful?

Didn't you know that everything is dangerous these days?

"potentially fatal disease commonly called popcorn lung"

I'm sorry, but they should probably change the name if they want it to be taken seriously.

Yes, I suppose just about everything has some danger associated with it, but gosh it seems like you just shouldn't have to worry about some things.

coincidental, not causal

oh and gg on thread title...

I guess popcorn lung isn't just for people in the factories after all. You just have to cook it multiple times a day... you know, to get enough exposure as if you worked in the factory.

How bout the artificial butter?

I see fatasses at the movies getting the worker to fill thier popcorn tub 1/3 up, then put butter on, then another 3rd, more butter, then to the top, then about 40 seconds of more butter pourage.


Then I realize I'm looking at a mirror.

9/5/2007 5:27:15 PM

this kinda shocked me at first cause i eat buttery popcorn almost every other day.

9/5/2007 8:24:36 PM

So things taken way out of moderation are dangerous?

9/5/2007 8:28:46 PM

this is why

air popped popcorn >>>> microwave popcorn

9/5/2007 9:41:32 PM

^care to eat air popped popcorn several times a day every day for several years so you can put that to a test?

9/6/2007 7:51:26 AM

It's great if you melt some actual butter and pour it on the top. I loved my air popper back in the day.

much cheaper, better tasting,

and often, the option of organic or non-GMO corn

(also, none of these artificial additives and fake fats)


kettle >>>>>> stovetop >>>>>> air-popped >>>>>> microwave >>>>>> bagged (already popped)

Gotta watch out for that popcorn.
