Popcorn is such an amazing food. The first person who discovered what it does must have been stunned at the complete metamorphosis, going from a tiny, smooth, gold-colored seed into a puffy, ivory-colored, crispy and much bigger thing. Besides that trick, it's really good for you. When my father was dying of colon cancer--a downer I know, but it figures well in here-- his doctor advised me to eat popcorn as often as possible, explaining it acts like a Brillo pad in that it scrubs the inside of your colon's walls. (Do not eat Brillo pads.) And too, it's cheap when you buy it un-popped, and once popped it inflates and makes enough for a crowd. Finally, it's quite filling, very low in calories if you skip the butter, and, need I add, delicious. But still, I draw the line at $5.50 for a Small, $6.50 for a Medium and $7.00 for a Large bag of popcorn, which is what they charge for it here in Freeport's only movie theater. Oh please.
