I do either air popped or stove-top popped. The stove-top version is probably not all that much better than microwave because of the oil... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-microwave-popcorn#post-379052 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 12:12:22 +0000 tororojo 379052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I eat it occasionally, but not very often. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-microwave-popcorn#post-378997 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 11:52:16 +0000 Turd Ferguson 378997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every now and then I will (once a month/once every few months).

Still though, I would prefer not to be exposed to chemicals that can do harm... and in general, I've been trying to eat healthier.</p> <p>Mmm, love me some popcorn though! I definitely miss it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-microwave-popcorn#post-378965 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 11:41:21 +0000 pastemoo 378965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I eat movie popcorn, homemade kettle corn, homemade oil or air popped popcorn.

Stories like these are so ridiculous. This guy ate 2 bags of popcorn a day for YEARS.
