Speech. Why Air Popped Popcorn Is The Best

My Speech

When was the last time you had popcorn? Most of you would say at the movies or at Home but have you ever wandered what Popcorn does to you or how it effects your Health. Because you will think twice Having popcorn at the movies after what I'm about to tell you,

Because there are definitely things about Popcorn that you need to know that you Don’t know, I'm not saying you shouldn’t Eat popcorn I'm just going to convince you What makes air popped popcorn better than All the others.

So you can make the wise and healthy Choice. The fist thing I'm going to tell you Are the methods of cooking popcorn. But just some facts, the first popcorn machine ever invented was a steam driven machine that cooked the popcorn kernels in hot oil.

But that is the past and I am focusing on the more modern types of popcorn. The first and most common way of cooking popcorn is micro-wave popcorn. I think the reason most people like it is because they like the buttery flavour which is fine but quiet unhealthy

But heir is a solution to make tasty buttery popcorn that is a lot healthier. This is air popped popcorn which is cooked in hot air not fat or oil, which makes it healthier. But to get the nice buttery taste you just melt a little bit of butter and pour on top of some air popped popcorn is just as tasty and is healthier.

But then you have the unhealthiest of them all

The popcorn you buy from the movies. Its is extremely unhealthy because it is cooked in fat and oil the two things you should try and avoid when cooking popcorn. And the last way of making popcorn is pan cooked popcorn which is cooked in hot pan oil.

This next bit is going to be a bit shocking to those of you who love popcorn if you always eat the movie popcorn or micro-wave popcorn. Because the movie popcorn has 50% more fat than air popped popcorn which makes it very unhealthy and it would have 62 calories which means that is a lot for one cup of popcorn because we normally have about 6 cups at the movies in a medium size popcorn which is 372 calories in a movie and children our age should only be consuming an average of 1500 calories

Per day so it’s over 1/3 of your daily in take of calories. And then you come to air popped popcorn again which only has 180 calories in 6 cups so its you choice on what type of popcorn you eat. But the healthier option is air popped popcorn.

And for those of you who think I'm going bonkers using funny words calories which is pretty much energy fat which means that they give you energy and fat.

So the next time you are at the movies you can  be healthy or unhealthy its your choice I just hope I have convinced you to start having air popped popcorn instead of micro-wave popcorn or movie popcorn.
