Besides, the government's in the business of making people fat -- have to SEEN how much bread it expect people to eat every day? Just FYI, the govt's food pyramid is the same ratio of grains/fats/etc as cattle feed. And they don't feed cattle stuff to keep 'em thin!

You don't need to know dahling said: People that come in here with their snooty remarks - just STFU. Seriously. Of COURSE no one is forcing food down people's throat (no shit Sherlock). A lot of people are just UNAWARE of how bad these things are for them, myself included (until now!). I thought I was doing good by sharing a medium tea and a small popcorn (sans butter) with my husband. Guess I was WAY wrong. The last 2 times we went to the movies though, we bought NOTHING because the prices are so high ($5 for a SMALL popcorn? I rest my case).

Tell the truth - you sorta had a feeling that the popcorn sold in movie theaters wasn't too good for you - didn't you? Well, I'm here to tell you that it's worse than you thought. From 
That's almost three day's worth of sat fat, or what you'd get from six Big Macs. And that's if you skip the "butter." Succumb to the "butter" on your large popcorn and you'll boost the fat to close to 130 grams, or two days worth, plus four day's worth of cholesterol. But what's another two Big Macs when you're already up to six?"
