This whole "organic" and "green" thing is like the "fat free/reduced fat" thing in the 80s/90s. Sure the popcorn has 25% less fat, but it's 9 grams instead of 12 grams, and nevermind it's loaded with carbs which probably are worse for you if you're trying to lose weight.
Organic/green sounds good, but unless it's actually grown on a farm that uses the bugs' natural predators to control pests (ie. ladybugs), prepared using only ingredients that can be derived directly from natural sources without any weird chemistry, and packaged with completely recycled and recyclable packaging with no plastic, from a solar/wind powered plant...or even half of that, it's not much of an improvement. If you put twinkies or hot dogs in a recyclable package, it doesn't change the fact they're horrible.
