While popcorn is definately not the healthiest snack available, there are healthy ways to eat it!. Try getting plain popcorn without butter, or get 100 calorie packs of popcorn, available at your local grocer!. Also, elect to not put extra salt on your popcorn, and have small portions, not the entire bag!.
Hope it helps!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
