I found something like the described list here: http://cspinet.org/new/pdf/cspi_top_10_fda.pdf but nothing with an official FDA url. And the list at that site _doesn't_ seem to include popcorn. BTW-- Gary, if Berkeley mandates organic popcorn at theaters, Madison will probably fall all over its funky metropolitan self to follow. Hope y'all have plenty of brewer's yeast to put on the organic popcorn! Mike Tribby Senior Cataloger Quality Books Inc.
