Yep. Butter... full of them. Butter = fat.

No,because corn is healthier for you..it's just popped with air. The butter flavoring/toping & salt is fattening part though. Just cut back on the butter & salt & you'll be fine. Good Luck-

Oil-popped popcorn can be extremely fattening, especially what you'd get at the movies or sports venues - typically it's coconut or palm oil used. (It looks pretty gross when you scoop it out.) Olive or flaxseed oils are better and healthier choices. Microwave popcorn has its pros and cons, there are less caloric varieties out there (such as Orville Redenbacher's SmartPop!) Butter and salt may contribute to the fat factor. I heard air popped is one of the best alternatives? Also, since it is a grain that you are eating, it's very filling. Popcorn, like most any other food consumed in excess, may lead to extra pounds (as what happened with me in college).

Popcorn from a hot-air popper is very low calorie, until you drown it with butter!
Spray it with butter spray (like PAM) for flavor & salt it.
Popped with oil is HIGH in calories, and buttered is bad too.
Try the mini microwave bags--get Pop Secret low-fat butter, which is 100 calories per bag. I eat it EVERY day!!

If you use an air popper and odn't put butter on the popcorn it is O fat O everything. THe problem comes from the butter and salt. In moderaton it is still OK

The popcorn itself isn't but the oil used to pop it and the stuff that you put on it is.

that depends on if you like butter and salt on your popcorn. If you do, then yes it is fattenning. If you don't, popcorn is healthy for you.

Popcorn is not fattening unless you add fat (like butter).

The pop corn itself isn't. Anything you put on it (butter, cheese, etc) is.
