The Popcorn
I’ve discussed previously how dangerous store bought microwave popcorn is. Its infuriating to see food manufacturers using partially hydrogenated oils (trans fats!), GMO corn kernels, fake sugars, fake colors, and unknown ingredients labeled as “natural or artificial flavorings” all in a seemingly “healthy” product. These companies even stoop as low as to market their inferior products as weight loss snacks, using the weight watchers points calculations to lure in dieters wanting to make better choices. Trust me, almost every brand uses trans fats and some form of a genetically modified crop in their products!
It is super easy to make your own with real ingredients, just be sure to get corn kernels that are NON-GMO. The best thing about making your own is flavoring it yourself, to your own taste. No more overpowering fake butter taste, or “light” popcorn that is tasteless! Here is another family favorite of mine, Garlic Parmesan Popcorn.
