Are raisins bad for you?
What about popcorn with nothing on it? Not the microwaveable kind either.
Kind of silly question. I'd appreciate if someone could answer it! Thanks.
i'm far from knowledgeable here, but i'm pretty sure that raisins are good for you (especially if you don't mind visiting the porcelain gods, requently). As for popcorn, it's completely empty colories ... so, it's not "bad" for you, but it ain't doin you any good, either.
I'm on diet to lose weight. How bad is eating popcorn twice per day? Pop secret butter natural & artificial flavor 94% fat free saturated fat free, 2 grams fat per serving.
I usually eat popcorn once a day as a nighttime snack. I think it should be ok as long as it's calories reduced and doesn't have a whole lot of sodium. I eat the 100 calorie mini bags- they have 100 calories, no fat and 4g's of fibre.
I don't see anything wrong with it as long as you can fit it into a healthy calorie range

You mean they make these?? Oh no. I'm in trouble now.
you can make your own microwave popcorn - without the nasty (to me) smell of microwave popcorn or the chemical additives.
1/4 cup of popping corn
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
whatever seasoning you like (i was partial to oregano and parmesan cheese or cayenne pepper)
Tools:
Plastic paper clip (I have good sources that say a staple wil work too - but I'd be hesitant to try it)
A brown paper bag (when i've done this -make sure it's a paper bag that's not made from recycled products - and lunch bags are the preferred bag)
(the oil isn't even necessary but it's helpful to have the seasoning stick to it)
Put oil in the bag - and smoosh around.
add popcorn kernals...
seal bag with paper clip (fold over once or twice )
Make sure popcorn kernels are flat in the bag and as close to a single layer as you can get
Put in microwave and pop - depending on microwave it can take anywhere from 90 seconds to 3 minutes -
The only bad thing about eating popcorn is that it usually makes me crave pickles, and well, those aren't good for you, right? I'm guessing they aren't since they have so much sodium. Maybe if I ate a few slices of them, but I tend to eat quite a few.
Wow - popcorn and pickles? That's one I haven't heard before!
Some people may freak at me saying this: but I don't care at all about sodium. Maybe if I get high blood pressure or something I"ll start to watch it, but until then I put salt on everything,
Theres a brand called healthy pop and ther's like 90 calories in the bag or something. I have tried the kettle corn, and it's pretty good. I wouldn't have it all the time, because it's just full of carbs.
