lol....i like the marketing idea....very common...94% fat free means that there's 6% FAT in there....per serving....very common way to make fairly unhealthy things sound good for you...

is it OK occassionally? yes...should you eat it every day while you watch TV? NO...I'd say once a week is OK..

It's my favorite cheat food. Very high in fiber. But menace is right.

If you have popcorn go for airpopped...all of the microwaved stuff and pre bagged stuff has way too much extra stuff in it...try it plain with a bit of hot sauce on it or with some salsa...

Smart balance has a new product out. I would venture to guess it is not bad, as their spread products are good. Healthy fats.

Still, bottom line is can your diet afford it? If you can fit it in your diet macros, then fine. If not, you will have to sacrifice till you can.
