Popcorn without the salt and butter can be very good for you. If you want the salt and butter on it, then I wouldn't have popcorn too many times a year. It is great for a snack. If you have just 1 serving of it, it makes a great healthy snack.

It is if you don't get it with lots of salt & butter...etc. It's actually a very healthy snack if you eat it in the more natural form. Buy the diet versions, it's got low fat butter & less salt. That way you can have your favorite food without needing to worry about eating junk food. Popcorn is a low-calorie snack, so snack away & feel good about it!!

As long as you don't overload it with butter/fat/salt/sugar...
I use a popcorn maker which basically uses hot air to "pop" the corn kernals (available at supermarkets and health food shops) and there's a little dish in the lid which you can use to melt a little bit of butter to pour over the popped corn. A little sprinkling of garlic salt mixed in well and I'm set.

think about it, most popcorn is smothered in butter
and butter is high in fat
probably no too bad,
but definately not good for you
you shouldnt have any problems if you dont eat it that often

It's my FAVORITE thing in the world, too! However - it's not really digestible and rather hard to pass through your system. Just be careful that you don't overdo it and end up with digestive problems later in life. Then, you won't be able to enjoy it like you do now.

depends what's on it...butter popcorn is bad, sweet popcorn is bad, toffee popcorn is bad....only popcorn with nothing on it is better-it's not too great for you either

Depends what you serve it with. On its own it contains many essential amino acids and vitamins, so yeah its good for you. Its the amount of sugar you add that determines how fattening it is.
Don't worry, moderation is everything! :)
