The Ultimate Horror Show

In a world where obesity reigns, there is a being with great power over us all. It catches us as we enter those glass doors, drawing us ever closer as we approach “the gatekeeper” and then overwhelms us with it’s mouthwatering aroma and tantalizing display. It is the popcorn soda combo deal at the concession counter of every major movie theater in America.

New studies recently completed by the Center for Science in the Public Interest discovered that a medium popcorn and soda at the country’s largest movie theater chain contains over 1600 calories and a whopping 60 grams of saturated fat! So you are getting the equivalent of three McDonalds Quarter Pounders and a stick of butter in a single popcorn/soda combo. And that doesn’t even include the candy we throw down AFTER the popcorn and soda!

Do yourself a favor and smuggle in something to eat if you have to munch during your favorite flicks. Make up a bag of homemade granola or trail mix. You can add salty stuff like lowfat pretzels and sweet stuff like craisins if you’ve just gotta have that salty/sweet combo. Your heart will thank you and so will your waistline!!
