Micowave popcorn (not your Uncle Orville's bag-o-corn)

Store bought microwave popcorn is yet another way that unnecessary toxins are entering our bodies. It's in the oil resistent coating found INSIDE the bags. So not only is the fake butter a known carcinogen (cancer causer), but so is the coating, which is basically teflon (and very toxic) when heated. Don't take my word for it. Check it out for yourself.

So anyhoo, homemade microwave popcorn it is. Here's how;
-plain ol' brown paper lunch bags (no recycled or coated bags)
-a 99 cent bag of popping corn
-seasonings of your choice (melted butter, salt, cajun spices, parmesan cheese, etc.)

Place 1/3 cup kernels in a brown bag (no more or it will pop too full).
Fold over once and staple twice (this will not spark in your microwave, contrary to popular belief; even teabags have a staple in them).
Lie bag on its long side with folded edge up. Gently press out air.
Pop in microwave as you normally would, retrieving when 3-5 seconds between pops is noted.
Open carefully. You now have healthy, air-popped popcorn.
Enjoy "as is" or season and enjoy. It's healthy and frugal.

Note: If your popcorn bag is old, the kernels may not have enough water content in them and will tend to burn in the microwave. Be sure to have a fresh bag of kernels.
