During these days when approaching the Oscar Awards I’m sure many of us are going with more frequency than ever to the movies, just to discuss and decide whether we agree with the elect of the Academy.
However, a hobby as fun as going to the movies can be a problem for our diet if every time we enter a room we do together with large buckets of popcorn and drinks “extra large”.
It is assumed that these super pop buckets are shared among several people, although the reality is that generally the rate is: a large bucket of popcorn for each person who enters the room.
That’s when the problem arises because each one of these delicious snacks can add up to more than 1,800 calories, not just sweets, salty easily reach 1779 calories per bucket or bag of “pop.”
One myth that “the popcorn is not fattening” has been completely demolished by The Food Standards Agency UK, who recommended to reduce cinemas sold lots and provide information about the caloric content of snacks boxes, buckets or bags.
These would be very useful measures in the fight against obesity being undertaken by the UK, given that several studies claim that by 2020 cada10 eight men and nearly seven in 10 women will be obese or at least will be overweight.
Anyway, while waiting in theaters to give us information on the calories of each product we can go using common sense and do not always choose the “super bucket of popcorn, and if you do that you can also opt per share.
