Toxic Popcorn...Again?!?

How hard can it be to make popcorn....seriously, folks?!?

Click for the full article, though if you are snacking on popcorn, you'd be best off finishing it first.

"Two years ago, Orville Redenbacher soared from the graveyard and announced in weeks of TV ads that his popcorn was now free of diacetyl. That's the chemical in artificial butter flavoring that has been blamed for sickening hundreds of workers, killing a handful and destroying the lungs of at least three microwave popcorn addicts.

Almost every other popcorn maker followed suit.

But now, government health investigators are reporting that the "new, safer, butter substitutes" used in popcorn and others foods are, in some cases, at least as toxic as what they replaced."

"December 7th, 1941 — a date which will live in infamy"

Did it really live in infamy?

Did you have to think twice...or three times when you saw the quote? I bet most of you did.

In 68 years will Americans forget the horror that occurred on September 11, 2001...or will it too live in "infamy?"

Just something to think about.

Hey All

I've been busy with the four year old in the hospital for pneumonia this week (he got out last night - yay), the baby up all night with croup, and simultaneously trying to plan a fabulous pirate bash for the now-six(!!!) year old. I'll post when I can, which is not today. Thanks for checking in, though.

If you want to comment, post me something funny - I could use funny this week.
