Ok so now we are researching microwave popcorn
It seems like the bags are bad too.

The chemicals in the bag lining get into our bloodstream because they vaporize and migrate into the popcorn during microwaving, said Olga Naidenko, a senior scientist for the Environmental Working Group. "They stay in your body for years and accumulate there," she told Prevention magazine for an article titled, "7 Foods That Should Never Cross Your Lips.
Popcorn itself is healthy. It's a whole-grain food, high in fiber and antioxidants and, if not doused in fat, a pretty low-cal snack.
The problem is the chemicals used in the lining of the bag, including perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA).
PFOA is also used to make Teflon and other stain- and stick-resistant materials, including pizza boxes. It's part of a number of compounds that have caused liver, testicular and pancreatic cancer in animals. The chemicals may also be linked to infertility in women, according to a recent study at the University of California, Los Angeles.

I actually gave up the bagged stuff years ago. I use an air popper now and I do use real butter. But idk it does seem a bit on the chewier side.
I might go back to the oil in pot/stove method.
I actually do use peanut oil :)
