Rose said the ailing patient, a man whom she wouldn't identify, consumed "several bags of extra butter flavored microwave popcorn" every day for several years.
I'm thinking someone with that nutritional profile might have some other health issues . . .

Exactly. And now the report is:

"He told us he liked the smell of popcorn, so he would open and inhale from freshly popped bags," Allstetter said. And the patient said he did this for a decade.

See I keep thinking everything that's wrong with me, they will realize the very simple reason for it and I'll change that one thing and suddenly be all healthy and energetic and stuff. That would be awesome.

If you like the smell of microwaved popcorn, you don't actually like the smell of popcorn. [Eek!]

eros, I so agree with you there. Whatever is in that "butter"/seasoning just smells noxious to me. Give me oil-popped corn on the stove any day!

So true, I hate the smell of microwaved popcorn. Especially when people make it in the office. [Grumble]
