Step Away from the Popcorn

Step Away from the Popcorn September 5, 2007

As if I didn’t have enough to worry about in my life, now I find that the delicious smell of microwave popcorn is dangerous. It apparently lead to “a potentially fatal disease commonly called popcorn lung that has been the subject of lawsuits by hundreds of workers at food factories exposed to chemicals used for flavoring.”

Sigh…is there anything which tastes good which won’t kill you? First steak was bad, then wheat was bad, then artificial sweeteners were bad….at least red wine is still okay ’cause I think I need a drink…..hang on, I’m breast-feeding, so that’s bad too. Darn it. I guess I’ll have some salad. (Didn’t I hear something about the spinach though?)
