yuck

Ever look inside a bag of microwave popcorn????

Yuck.

And about six months ago, I read an article about how the bags are coated with teflon inside, and that the high temperature when popping causes molecules of teflon to be transferred into the popcorn, and that ingesting teflon is carcinogenic.

Double yuck.

So I stopped eating microwave popcorn.

We're probably all doomed anyway, especially us boomers who were poisoned by almost everything fed to us in the 50s and 60s and then we polluted ourselves royally in the 70s and so on... but I do what I can anyway not to eat teflon!

4. Post the text of the next 2 sentences on your blog along with these instructions.
5. Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest.

From the shelf, book lying on top of the others...

>>In nearby Tepotzlan, birthplace of the Aztec serpent-god Quetzalcoatl, proto-hippies selling crystals and tie-dyed T-shirts in the plaza seemed to have commandeered the erstwhile midcentury artists' bohemia.  In Valle de Bravo, a popular pine-forested retreat to the north, noise from the boats on the artifical lake, cheesy tourist kiosks along the old cobbled streets, and traffic jams on the road out infected the beauty of the setting.>>
