[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you telling me that every time a child or anyone eats popcorn it is going into their lungs? Why would popcorn go into their lung and cause this infection called pneumonia? I have nearly choked on food like carrots and peas in the past but this isn't in my lungs. It would go to the stomach.[/quote] ?? Did you not read the thread? It is just easier to aspirate than many other foods. That doesn't mean that anyone who eats it aspirates it. We opted for rice cakes instead of popcorn when our kids were toddlers. Easier to manage. Started popcorn, supervised, at three, and unsupervised by five. Like a PP, we also teach them what a reasonable amount is and why you shouldn't cram any food, but especially popcorn, into your mouth. *shrug*[/quote]
