I don't want the food police telling me what I can and can't eat. Can't we just be adult and be responsible for our own actions. We don't want the nanny state telling us what to eat and drink. I fer one don't want to drink plain water at the movie. I want a real coke and large tub of popcorn that I'll share (if asked nicely). It's a treat. I don't go to the movies every day.

I expect that they’ll be laden with calories. Whenever I go to the movies, I noticed that very fat people (obese) frequently have gigantic containers of popcorn that they do not share with others. We have an obesity problem in the US and the sooner we realize this the better off we’ll be. Don’t get me started on corn syrup (high fructose) – the evil that is being added to many products including soda (ginger ale). And to think that we’re pushing ethanol made from corn that serves as food – grinding everything up including the corn to make ethanol, driving up the cost of corn for tortillas in Mexico. We’re one world now whether we like it or not. No, I don’t expect that any food offered at a movie theatre will have only a few calories. I expect that they’ll be laden with calories.
