Funny you should mention that. The last jar of popcorn I bought has a
large graphic on the front of the label: "100% WHOLE GRAIN!"

It was a teachable moment for the 11-year-old. "Sometimes what you
see on a label is absolutely true and at the same time absolutely
meaningless. This is one of those times."


Why is that meaningless? As a whole grain, popcorn is a decent source
of fiber. Nutritionally, it isn't bad. And if you don't add fats, it's
a pretty low calorie snack.
