I had a popcorn kernel stuck in my throat for a week before an ENT doctor got it out (Saliva wont dissolve popcorn kernels ever apparently). She told me she knew a surgeon who believed popcorn was the worst food a person could eat because of what it does to the intestines. I asked the ENT doctor what food she thought was the worst - "Popcorn, definitely".
I know 7 million is a lot, but, I've got a feeling it still wasn't worth it.
Goddammit why did you have to say that. Now I can't just gobble everyone's movie popcorn.
Not to mention it’s around 800 mostly empty calories a day (at least based on the calories in the popcorn I eat). For me, that’s half the calories I need in a day to stay in deficit.
