isadorah Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/conte...hpid=sec-health the skinny: microwave popcorn can cause lung problems from the fumes it produces. although i wonder how many bags of popcorn the guy actually went through in a day. another reason to believe anything in excess can't possibly be good for you.

JUDE Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I never eat that crap anyway.A pan, some canola oil, a load of kernels and a mess of heat is the only way to go. Word. I've got an old popping pan from the 60's my mom gave me. It's the nastiest looking thing in the world, but it makes some tasty corn. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gogo Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I'm skeptical of this as a consumer hazard. Definitely a concern for workers, though: Popcorn Workers Lung Disease Prevention Act Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Drazil Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 If only it didn't smell so good, we could quit breathing the fumes. I know I love to huff a bag of freshly popped Orville, if you know what I mean. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I never know what to get some people in my family. Thanks for the link Jen! i highly recommend the popcorn samplers and the gift sets.

W(TF) Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I never eat that crap anyway.A pan, some canola oil, a load of kernels and a mess of heat is the only way to go. Don't forget to pan-melt some good real BUTTER and pound an ounce or two of salt in there as well. Diet Coke? sheet, I live on the stuff. I'm thinking of starting a lobby group to get Cherry Zero imported to Canada...we can't get it here. You lucky bastids. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Don't forget to pan-melt some good real BUTTER and pound an ounce or two of salt in there as well. You know what's kind of good, too, as a topping? Nutritional yeast flakes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
a.miller Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I was alone at home for the past five days. 4 out of 4 nights I had me a big bowl of microwave popcorn. The movie theatre butter kind with salt on top. Killer....in more ways than one, apparently. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
