Re: ~That Buttery Popcorn Aroma Maybe Toxic~

I can smell that nasty stuff on the store shelves.  have you ever walked by that section, you can smell it without trying.  It is a rancid smell.  I always thought it was rancid margerine.  I have had microwave popcorn that stunk up the shelves at home so much I had to throw it out.  So, if I ever bought any, which was once in a blue moon, I bought the stuff that was flavored with real butter and it didn't seem to be near as bad.  Now, I see all of it probably has this nasty chemical scent.  One thing, if popcorn didn't require workers to produce, we would not be hearing about this chemical.  It is only because the workers were getting irreversible lung disease that joe public is now hearing about it.  Nice how the FDA and the Consumer Protection Agency refuse to study the effects on consumers, that only the EPA studied it and will not release it's findings to the public.  That is our wonderful Capitalistic government for you.  We should all be proud.
