It seems that having popcorn at movies is a popular American culture. I am not particulary interested in popcorn and now I know it will not be fun anymore eating the dry stuff.Not impossible but I need to sip water with every bite. The first time I went to movie with my family after my illness, my husband passed me the bag full of popcorn and I returned him with an angry look. I sighed deep in my heart that I could not eat food that ordinary people could. Then I changed my attitude and instead of feeling pitiful, I told myself that popcorn is not healthy. It is fat and may also damage my teeth. So now when my husband and 2 sons were enjoying their popcorn at the cinema, I just focused on the movie. I didn't miss anything. So Dan doesn't need to force himself too much.That may add further mental stress. We still have a lot of health food waiting for us.
