Commentary, sarcasm and snide remarks from a Florida resident of over thirty years. Being a glutton for punishment is a requirement for residency here. Who am I? I've been called a moonbat by Michelle Malkin, a Right Wing Nut by Daily Kos, and middle of the road by Florida blog State of Sunshine. Tell me what you think.

Is anything sacred?

Even microwave popcorn can be unhealthy now. Reminds me of a George Carlin joke. "Scientists discover saliva can cause cancer. Only if swallowed in small doses over a long period of time."

New York- WABC, May 2, 2006) - There are health concerns about microwave popcorn -- and it's not the popcorn that's the problem, it's the bag.

Scientists are taking a closer look at the chemical coating used in microwave popcorn bags-- the coating makes the bags grease resistant.

A recent FDA study found that some of that chemical coating is seeping into the popcorn.

Another study concluded that a chemical extract from that coating is likely carcinogenic to humans.

The popcorn industry says companies are moving away from using this coating in their bags.
