Air popped popcorn is YUMMY! I still use the same damn air popper I brought w/ me to college back in 1985... (wait, did I say "85".... never mind). I dont' even put butter on it because butter doesnt' seem to like my skin very much. I actually just spritz it w/ some water and put the salt on it. Two problems with air popped corn:
1) You can't just eat "1 cup" of it
2) After a whole bowl, my digestive system rebels against me the next day for the carb load. The salt doesn't help w/ the bloated feeling either.
well, ...
3) I have to literally fight my cat for each kernel because he's a salt fiend.
Nope - not bad if you aren't keeping a strict watch on your carbs. Generally "watching" your carbs you are definitely Ok. "Bad" food is always relative. But its certainly not a "bad" food.
