Movie popcorn will make you fat
The Center for Science in The Public Interest (CSPI) has completed a new nutritional report on movie theater popcorn. While the findings are not completely surprising, it’s shocking how much fat and calories are packed into those pricey buckets of popcorn.
“It’s hard to picture someone mindlessly ingesting three McDonald’s Quarter Pounders with 12 pats of butter while watching a movie. But according to new laboratory analyses commissioned by the nonprofit Center for Science in the Public Interest, that food is nutritionally comparable to what you’d find in a medium popcorn and soda combo at Regal, the country’s biggest movie theater chain: 1,610 calories and three days’ worth—60 grams—of saturated fat. (Nutrition aside, that combo costs $12—for raw ingredients that must cost Regal pennies.) “(via:cspinet.org)
The full report, which will be published in Nutrition Action can be read here as a PDF.
