Let’s Ask Marion: Does Popcorn Deserve A Pass To The Movies?

(With a click of her mouse, EatingLiberally’s kat corners Dr. Marion Nestle, NYU professor of nutrition and author of Food Politics and What to Eat:)
Kat: My Screening Liberally colleagues have asked me to recommend "a nutritious alternative to popcorn" that Screening Liberally chapters could serve at their film screenings. But is popcorn itself really such a terrible snack? Obviously, if you drench it in butter or oil, it becomes a fat bomb, and then there's diacetyl--the "butter" flavored chemical that gives the workers exposed to it the debilitating illness called "popcorn lung." But if you start with non-GMO, organic popcorn, say, and you pop it in just a wee bit of canola oil and sprinkle it with nutritional yeast, the way they do in those hipster indie movie houses, haven't you got yourself a pretty healthy snack, provided you don't consume a Paul Bunyon-sized tub of it?
Dr. Nestle: Hey--this sounds like my new column in the San Francisco Chronicle in which I discussed, of all things, pizza. The editors wanted to know whether pizza could ever be healthy? Of course it can. Popcorn too. Popcorn has the benefit of being mostly air (it's popped, right?). Air has no calories. So a cup of popcorn is just 30 calories. Air doesn't have much in the way of nutrients either, so that cup of popcorn has a few minerals, a gram of protein, and a teaspoon of starch. Not much good, but no harm done either. BUT: nobody has just a cup and nobody just eats popcorn. Every tablespoon of fat--butter or oil--adds at least 100 calories and throw sugar on top of it and you've added some more. It's still a lot better than most things you get in movie theaters, but I want real butter on mine, not that phony stuff.
I discussed, of all things, pizza. The editors capital to apperceive whether pizza could anytime be healthy? Of advance it can. Airheaded too. Airheaded has the account of getting mostly air (it's popped, right?). Air has no calories. So a cup of airheaded is just 30 calories. Air doesn't accept abundant in the way of nutrients either, so that cup of airheaded has a few minerals, a gram of protein, and a teaspoon of starch. Not abundant good, but no abuse done either. BUT: cipher has just a cup and cipher just eats popcorn. Every tablespoon of fat--butter or oil--adds at atomic 100 calories and bandy amoroso on top of it and you've added some more. It's still a lot bigger than a lot of things you get in cine theaters, but I wish absolute adulate on mine, not that affected stuff.

I went searching for nutritional information on movie popcorn - unbuttered. Apparently somebody has posted info on Regal Cinemas' *small* popcorn (unbuttered): 7 cups of popcorn, containing 50 grams of fat, and (this is what confuses me) NO carbs????? At any rate, it was clocked in at a whopping ***SIX HUNDRED AND THIRTY CALORIES***. For a "small" popcorn, no butter. WTF?
