"A medium popcorn and soda at the Regal movie theater chain has the calories of three McDonald's Quarter Pounders and 12 pats of butter, a U.S. food group says. ...The movie theater chain's medium popcorn and soda has 1,610 calories and three days' worth -- 60 grams -- of saturated fat."

  3. This is why you sneak in your own food to movie theaters. One mother I knew used to sneak in full things of popcorn for her daughter's movie-centered birthday parties.

    I wonder, is store-bought movie-theater-style popcorn as bad for you as actual movie theater popcorn?

    It's maintained by Donal Skehan, who used to be in a euro-band (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANGDCihuB8Y). I mention his blog, simply because it's just so slick and shiny. It's glossy - a treat to look at.
