So, I go to the store today on my usual grocery getting trip and since my two sons, my wife and I have taken to eating an occasional snack of hot-air popped popcorn with a bit of salt and real melted butter, I saw that I needed to buy some more popcorn. You know, the "old-fashioned" kind that comes in a jar or a bag and consists of nothing more than popcorn kernels. Imagine my surprise when I found that all my grocery store carried was ONE variety (their store brand) of real popping corn. All the rest of the considerable shelf space was devoted to microwave varieties soaked in hydrogenated oils and slathered in various artificial flavors. I was appalled! Egad! Am I the only person on the face of the earth that shuns "high-tech" food and seeks to feed my family wholesome, healthy eats?

True enough! I still have some un-allocated space in the garden. Perhaps I should consider growing my own???

just goes to show what we are turning into. i along with you would rather have non microwaved popcorn and all that jazz. kettle corn is the **** infact but it is hard to get and getting harder by the day to find. look around ya though in wisconsin alot or corn feilds have now turned into houses soon we will be having a corn price issue such as the gas price issue lol. ok if that made sence to you good.

i eat trying to avoid, fructose, and glutin, if you can.
this leaves you with basically natural stuff, just about anything packaged has glutin or fructose in it.
it makes pizza taste really really good too
