It's not the popcorn we should be worried about. It's the copious amounts of other snack food items that have infiltrated the theater experience and our olfactory senses while watching Sandra Bullock movies…like nachos, hot dogs, pizza, cheesesteaks (So totally not kidding!), chicken fingers, and all kinds of jalapeno, pretzel bite, bites. Good God, it's a veritable smorgasbord, smorgasbord , in the damn place now. Smells like a Manhattan morning on trash day, and you practically need a Weight Watchers meeting and a gastric emptying study just to get through the door!
Forget popcorn, just bring raisins and milk duds in a little baggie like my grammy used to…save some money and your arteries. Servicey!
Also though - the Times article is bs. It says one theatre "got points for" switching to canola oil. REAL coconut oil is a monounsaturated oil rich in medium-chain fatty acids and is actually healthier than canola oil. It's very good for your skin, nerves and brain.
@Spirit Fingers: I have carried many a lumpy backpack into the movies. I bring my own oiless, saltless microwaved popcorn lightly flavored with Redmond ancient sea salt and melted ghee. Weeee. (points off for the nuking though).

So, some big-pharma shill NY Times writer wants you to believe that drugs will prevent cancer but diet and exercise won't?
Well, nice try GINA KOLATA!!! Everyone knows that you are biased against health food, that you are into champagne. That you're not into yoga, and you have half a brain! #cancer
@OliversArmy: Good eye! I'll relay this travesty to her arch enemy Marguerite DeVille so we can have some balanced reporting on this serious subject. #cancer
If you could find a way to put the cure for cancer in one of these then maybe America would listen.
(Um, Christ, do people actually eat something that looks like it's slathered in volcanic lava? Yes, let's put that on our acid reflux. Looks like an ER trip to me.) #cancer

Before you dismiss this, look at the evidence. #health
