Hey speaking of popcorn, now I'm feeling pissed because as a consequence of booming demand for alternative fuels, farmers are replanting acres of popcorn with more profitable crops that go into ethanol and other biofuels.

Prices went up about 40 cents this winter at the Saginaw 8 and Quad complex in Kochville Township, putting the popular medium tub at $4.50, said Shift Manager Josh R. LaFond.

At the Hemlock-based Lloyd C. Zastrow Wholesale Popcorn and Supplies, which supplies the Court Theatre in Saginaw, the cost of a 50-pound bag rose to $16 from $15, said Joyce Zastrow, a Michigan Farmers Hall of Famer with her husband, Lloyd, since 2006.

I love popcorn, damnit!
