Since our church does not have a building, we meet on Sunday's at our local AMC Theater. Can you imagine smelling this every Sunday without being able to eat it.
did you get it with the butter?angelordevil said:*raises greasy hand*
I've actually gone back once for the free refill that comes with a large popcorn here. I forget what the movie was, but it must have really been something. I had no idea it was so awful and filled with deadly fats. Dear lord!
The Smart Pop stuff is the best home version.

runbyu1 said:Well, I actually study nutrition and the answer is yes and no. Popcorn by itself is actually whole grain---translation=more healthy than a piece of supposed 'wheat' bread. If cooked with unsaturated oils (olive, soybean, peanut, canola, etc.) it would actually be quite a healthy snack that tends to fill people up without a ton of calories. There is even a microwave kind called smart balance that is quite healthy. Bottom line, popcorn is quite healthy, the kinds of fat you put on it determines it. And contrary to previous belief, real butter is still a saturated fat and is not good for you. Also, some good oils (such as olive) can actually help out your health. Check out the book 'The Culprit and the Cure' by Steve Aldana. It may just change your life.

i wonder what the fat is like on a large popcorn without the warm cooking oil
i don't either. all i can say is, i hope to god the 126g of fat large popcorn is when it's got the butter and salt on it, like the average person gets. if that's how much fat it's got just as is, then i'm never getting popcorn at the movies again.angelordevil said:I never put butter on at the movies, either. Maybe that saved me. I used to when I was younger, but then I watched the workers pop it one day with all the greasy oil...they just poured it into the machine like it was a car. At that point, I started wondering if grease on top of grease was a good thing. Instead of butter, I'll usually put the spice stuff on...but it doesn't stick very well to the popcorn without butter.

No, the moral of the story is be sure to get lots of "butter flavored topping" on your movie theater popcorn so the saturated fat is 944% of your daily requirements.Chizip said:AMC's large sized popcorn...
moral of the story, don't eat movie theater popcorn

That's horrendous!!
I had a look in the kilojoule counter book I've got, and apparently movie popcorn here has 28g of fat and 541 calories in a large bucket - I wonder what's the difference between your popcorn and ours.
I dont feel too bad, my hubby and i usually share a medium popcorn when we go to the movies.
