	All this seems very good, but the cooking oil? Doesn't one need
	that using an "air popper"? If one does, doesn't the equippment
	to be shipped get destroied by the oil?

	And anoter question, doesn't the popcorn get smashed during shipping?

	If it really works, what are we waiting for. Let's buy som air poppers
	and some popcorn, and start popping!
