    Agreed! I love the 100 Calorie Popcorn Packs, but if it's that processed, it can't be good for you! Air-popped is the best!

    i like the 100 cal bags you can pop OR the ones with chocolate or caramel in the 100 cal section at the store, but most have around 130 instead. :)

    I buy the bag of popcorn kernels and brown paper bags. Put kernels in bag, roll the top down and microwave. NO oil or butter. Its great!

    really? I never would have thought about trying that. How long do you normally microwave for?

    Popsecret's Homestyle Popcorn is my favorite. just a hint of salt and butter.

    Popcorn is good for you, as long as it doesnt have a bunch of stuff on it, is the point everyone is making lol! It's quite a healthy, yummy, filling snack! :)

    I just airpopped some last night....then drizzled with roasted pepper olive oil and sprinkled a bit of fresh parm on top. YUMMMM If I have it often, I'll skip the cheese.

    I went out and bought an airpopper and it's the best investment I've made in a while. Add spray-on no-cal butter spray and sprinkle on some seasoning and it's delicious!

    I'd say popcorn is good , love having it as a snack. I heard that microwave popcorn bags though are lined with BPA, not sure if that matters or not for some but another factor to consider when choosing.

    I also bought and air popper and agree its been a great 20.00 investment! In the popcorn section, they also have these shakers of toppings which are no or low low calorie and low sodium. YUMMO!

    Very simple, if you threw a bunch of unpopped kernnels in your microwave they would pop. So you put them in a brown paper bag and roll the top down and microwave till it stops popping. Just like the bags you buy at the store. It is cheap too. I usually give it a few spays of I cant belive its not butter spray. Its great and convienent.
