As for the movie popcorn, it is safest to ask at the theatre. Sometimes the color is in the butter that gets added and sometimes it's in the mix with the kernels. It's worth it to ask before you eat. If they can't tell me for sure, then we don't eat it.food dye diarieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17083070202088490876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-679097304712977790.post-31041356647552051972010-04-05T20:46:49.988-04:002010-04-05T20:46:49.988-04:00I have my sons possible first sleepover this weeke...I have my sons possible first sleepover this weekend and its a birthday party.It is at a friends house that I really trust the parents, they have been friends since pre-school.I'm nervous because he has never slept over anyones house and its a party and there may be food he shouldn't eat and I don't want to single him out,but I also don't want him eating anything that will be an issue for the parents when they are all trying to go to sleep.Does anyone have any advice on this?Also does anyone if the popcorn at the theaters without the butter is dye free?
