Good Im glad he won that artificial popcorn butter is crap. My nieces when they were teen ate that stuff all the time. When they
cooked that stuff I had to leave the house could not take the smell
and it made me cough. Nasty stuff. If you want popcorn use real
butter or margarine that dont stink to high heaven.

so get in line and file suit. If you're lucky, you'll get a jury that's just as ignorant as the one that decided this case. Now prices will go up to pay for the verdict, assuming it isn't overturned on appeal. If it isn't, I think I'll come up with a law suit of some kind. It's obviously the way to go these days.

What cruel timing. The little boy scouts are out selling popcorn.

Maybe not. Some brands do not contain this harmful chemical. We can hope the scouts are selling the chemical-free brand.

Strange way to hit the jackpot but our winning lawsuits is easier than winning the lottery. Even so I am fairly sure that those who engage in winning jackpot lawsuits also buy lottery tickets, maybe they will hit the jackpots twice!

Are you sure it wasn't simply the fact that the food was microwaved? Several eurpoean countries including the former Soviet Union have banned microwaves for civillian use for cooking food due to concerns over the way microwaves genetically modify the food and cause exposure to radiation. However popcorn with artifical butter flavor is not exactly a health food....

"won" is an appropriate word.

They should have shown the original "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" and the case would have been closed.

Now all food will have to have warning signs on it. Potatoes have solanine in them, which is poisonous, and of course peanuts let alone cashews are poisonous.

We reward gluttony apparently.

And by the way, how can you PROVE that EVERY day you ate TWO bags of popcorn? Did he never go away? Did he take popcorn on vacation with him?

The food industry knew that diacetyl is harmful with exposure over time. They didn't make any effort to warn consumers. I'm fine with the judgement. It's NOT common sense to think that food additives might be harmful to you - if it were the additives would not be so widely used.

I'm going to eat nothing but ... uh ... yogurt for the rest of my life. When I get sick (even though there's nothing wrong with yogurt) I'm going to sue the dairy, the farmer, the store and the gorram cows because I'm paying the price for my stupidity. No one should have to suffer just because they are idiots! That's not natural!
