My popcorn could be dangerous? Oh come on!

By Bryon Zirker

A likely human carcinogen perflourooctanoic acid (PFOA) used to
make teflon, was identified by the EPA. Sceintists have wondered
for years why the average american studied had traces of this chemical
in their blood.

These traces are hundreds times more than would come from non
stick cookware. Scientists now believe the culprit to be Microwave
popcorn. A study by the FDA found that the PFOA may leach from
the packaging during the heating process.

To avoid this risk and still enjoy popcorn try this:

1/4 cup popcorn
Brown paper lunch bag
stapler
Butter
Sea Salt

Put the popcorn in the bag and fold over 2 times. Staple with one
or two staples. This should not affect the microwave.Microwave
as usual. Add butter and salt. Enjoy the show!
