Orville Redenbacher was born on a farm in Brazil, Indiana, in 1907. At 12, he began to grow and peddle his own popping corn, which allowed him to save money for college. He graduated from Perdue University with a degree in agronomy and as a member of Alpha Gamma Rho, an agriculture-oriented fraternity.

Redenbacher was a natural salesman and became quickly successful in his line of work. He even went on to start a fertilizer company, which was very financially successful. Yet throughout it all, Redenbacher had a goal that he'd been working on since a child. He wanted to make a popping corn that was perfect.

Meet PFAs, a class of synthetic chemicals commonly used in food packaging. Popcorn manufacturers coat the insides of their popcorn bags with PFAs to prevent the artificial butter flavoring from leaking through and making a mess. But those same chemicals also leach into the popcorn - and into your body when you eat it.
