Luckily, my parents knew better than to eat artificial popcorn. We've been using an air popper ever since I can remember. We put either hemp oil (not heated) or coconut oil on our popcorn! Great post though. So many people don't realize how unhealthy some popcorns can be. Even as a kid, we’d always pop our own and bring it.

I was impressed recently by the Angelika theater in NYC...they had the junk food, BUT they had plenty of healthy snack option and even hot tea! I was so happy and impressed! Oh, and they had vegan options too. I used to sneak my own healthy food into the movies all the time, but now I don’t need anything while watching a movie.

Check this out, you won't believe it. http://blog.syracuse.com/healthfitness/2009/11/coca-cola_partners_with_americ.html As I said to Lauren, I posted this on my regular FB page and my Gluten-Free For Good one. This kind of stuff makes it so hard to convince people that many of the health problems we face are because we eat and drink cr*p! Yes, yes -- I do have the starchy veggie post on my mind. I promise. Okay, I'll really do it. Thanks for the gentle nudge. I need that on occasion! :-) Hope you're feeling better! Thinking of you. Coco,

I just posted a link on my Facebook page about Coke giving the American Academy of Physicians a 6-figure grant to promote healthy soft drink consumption. UGH! That's an oxymoron! Good for you for giving up pop! I commend you for it! Lauren,

Not that I have even been able to eat this stuff for years but still- bleh! It reminds me of my high school days when my breakfast consisted of a frappucino, a herscheys cookies and cream bar, a peanut butter twix and a bag of peanut m&m's. And don't get me started on the cheesey bagels and cookies they sold us for lunch! I admit to have a heavy hand with salt but at least I am salting real foods and I can't imagine it could ever total up to what is in this processed stuff!! This is amazing to see the numbers written out though, wow. And I love how the picture of popcorn says "Fresh!!" I am bugging you again for a starchy veggie post!! I can't even remember what my original question was.... I think it was how do you know what's got more sugar/starch? Example: sweet pot's or winter squash?... Yeah I think that was it? Anyway! This was a great post- I'm sending the link to my popcorn-loving mother, she will be annoyed with me :) Grosssssss!

Then again, lately I haven't been drinking pop & the stuff they pop the popcorn in might be gluten-containing. I saw a bag of the stuff once - you don't want to know. So I think I'm good for this =D.

But it's so important to know what it is you're eating and why it might not be the best choice. Unless you really understand labels and how deceiving some of the information is, you'd never know you're getting a zillion teaspoons of sugar in a soda pop, or 60 grams of saturated fat in the tub of popcorn. I'll do a post on reading labels. The manufacturers actually don't want you to know what's in a product. You might not buy it if the ingredient label was easier to read and understand! I know what you mean, though. It's a transition. And a RE-transition. And a RE-RE-transition. It's an ongoing process. We just do the best we can. Onward... FFC,
