If you think about it, popcorn is just corn kernels that have had hot air forced inside of them until the point at which they explode. That’s it, just corn and air.  Sounds pretty violent if you ask me. We breath 50% of the ingredients and yet the snack has become a cultural phenomenon. You can’t go to a movie without your hands aching to hold that buttery bucket on your lap, shoveling handful after handful of the stuff down your gob. You don’t feel guilty about it either, and why should you? It’s practically like eating nothing.
