I did a post on popping my own popcorn on my blog.

An added bonus is you create less garbage from packaging as well as realizing the money savings. The health concerns supercede the over packaging of microwave popcorn. The flavouring in microwave popcorn contains diacetyl that has been linked to workers inhaling the fumes while testing bags of microwave popcorn. So this is likely one of those things that might be better to avoid until further research has been done. From an environmental perspective, microwave popcorn is definitely something to avoid. Besides popping corn on the stovetop smells so good!Garden Gnomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07560748179792613782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27248498.post-18177518310232640672008-04-20T15:21:00.000-04:002008-04-20T15:21:00.000-04:00You know I just made some popcorn on the stove top...You know I just made some popcorn on the stove top last night. I was thinking of how long it takes to make on the stove (< 5 minutes)compared to making it in the microwave and I began to feel really lazy for making microwave popcorn all these years. If there are health risks as you suggest, then I definitely won't be buying microwave again. Plus, it is so much cheaper.DineometerDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00428252828073397833noreply@blogger.com
