Food Nazi Alert
Some people have miserable lives because of their beliefs, and if they have to eat sprouts and tofu and bland shit like that, they’ll be damned if you can eat and enjoy anything with TASTE…!
On Nov. 19 ABC’s “Good Morning America” aired a recycled study by the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a liberal activist group that, if it were given the power, would ban everything from remote controls to Chinese food to donuts to casual dining. But even without that power, the anti-food activists still have the networks eating out of their hand.
They mess any further with Chinese food and they’ll have a war on their hands.

“…and tell us about the sodium too…” No, let’s not.
The point was made that this is not a staple, once every two months on average is hardly worth a news story. Air popped popcorn isn’t worth the effort of eating it.
CSPI, if you don’t like it don’t eat it, leave me the hell alone! I’m an adult, I am able to make my own decisions. I like the big tub-o-popcorn (with 1 free refill), a humongo Coke, and a big-ass box of Raisinettes…. BOOYA!

“They mess any further with Chinese food and they’ll have a war on their hands.”
Amen. Ditto for Italian.

Whats the point of being alive till you are 100 if you havent ever LIVED a day in your life? You can have your bland air popped, non salted popcorn libs. I’ll die happy, and you’ll be 100 and crapping your pants and meeting new people daily.

I knew a girl who worked at a theater, this goes back 25 years at least, and she told us they used chicken fat on the popcorn for ‘flavor’. Cannot verify as I don’t go to the movies, hence, no popcorn for me.
Try air-popped popcorn, Pam spray oil and nutritional yeast – YUM! tastes like Smartfood!

well, out here in Northern California, we go to a movie theater chain called Brendan Theaers, and we always ask for LIGHT butter. To us, it just tastes better with a small amount, then we put salt in it, and mix it up. it’s good stuff. It’s also the reason we buy the similar tasting Orville Redenbacher popcorn

Artery clogging coconut oil? That is such bullshit. All of this notion of determining the quality of a food by breaking it down into grams of fat, carbs, and protein is bullshit. This is what we get for having rampant government extending its tentacles into the food industry. Two generations of fat Americans being fed a bunch of lies by media outlets telling them to eat shreds of lettuce and drink pomegranate juice. The ENTIRE theory of cholesterol/saturated fat caused heart disease IS BASED ON COMPLETELY FRAUDULENT SCIENCE. It isn’t even REMOTELY true. Yet we are in danger of it being shoved down our throats a few years down the road here. When Obamacare goes bankrupt, I wouldn’t be surprised if regulators start looking at “poor lifestyle habits” as a target for additional taxation……

maybe lettuce and pomegranate juice were bad examples, I actually enjoy pomegranate juice and a good salad, but I see your point, JR

I like those foods too Nicolas. It’s just that I think government intervention into people’s diets is about the most invasive kind of tyranny there is. There are plenty of food nazis in Congress (like Henry Waxman and Dick Durbin) whose egos are so big they think they can tell us all what’s good for us. And they use these bogus “studies” as propaganda.
