My girlfriend works in a lab which does something involving jellyfish. Last night, they were all alive and happy. This morning, two were missing and one was dead. :shocked:

It always starts with the pets (think 'Fatal Attraction' and the bunny boiled to death in the pot)

Why in the world is diacetyl a popcorn flavoring? Just use butter or something...

Wow, that's some serious shit. My family (other than me) eats that garbage religiously, Friday and Saturday nights. I knew wasn't healthy but I didn't realize it could be that hazardous. For that matter, microwaving anything isn't really the best thing to be doing.

Why not? I mean, I prefer cooking on a stove or in an oven because I think cooking more slowly allows for better flavor and texture, and because the food stays hotter longer, but there is nothing dangerous about using a microwave unless you try to stick your head in it or something.

A microwave oven produces standing microwaves contained inside the device. The frequencies they use are resonant with rotation of water molecules, so when you turn it on, the microwaves excite the water to a higher rotational energy state, which increases the average kinetic energy of the molecules inside your food, thus increasing the temperature.

Microwaves cannot impart any chemical changes. Exciting rotations cannot lead to reactions. The chemical composition of your food is identical when you take it out of a microwave as it is when you put it in. The only difference is the temperature has been increased by moving the molecules around faster, and potentially a phase change.

I've heard they're cancer causing, but to be fair, I've never actually researched this, nor did I really know much of the science behind how they worked - until reading your post, so thanks.

Microwaves don't cause cancer, but I would wager something in the cheap, processed microwavable foods people put in them does.

Also, on the topic of microwave popcorn, if you spray a brown paper back with Pam or something, then drop a layer or so of loose popcorn kernels into the bottom, fold over the top of the bag, and put it in the microwave, it's a cheaper, healthier alternative to the bags they sell in stores. I like to melt some butter and put it, salt, and garlic on the top when I'm done. :hungry:
