Yuck!

I used to eat McDonald's in Sweden, my fave burger back then was the Big Mac. When I came to the US I remember going to a McDonald's and
ordered a Big Mac and I couldn't finish it, it tasted OFF, something was not right, it was the meat. Gross!
I have not had a Big Mac since then.
I have been 100% vegetarian on and off for years, now I am a FLEXITARIAN, you know.....super flexible......!
No, that means that you do include meat in your diet but rather infrequently.
I hardly ever eat any fast food, no McDonald's (with the exception of a Sundae once in a blue moon), Taco Bell, Carls' Jr etc etc.
If I ever have a burger from a fast food place it comes form In-N-Out.
Besides, the beef they use at taco bell, is called "taco meat filling" and is made up of about 36 % beef and the rest is various "fillings".
And how about the chicken nuggets at McDonal's?

"They would be bad enough if they were merely chunks of chicken that had been breaded and deep-fried in oil. One documentary describes McDonald's nuggets as chickens “stripped down to the bone, and then 'ground up’ into a chicken mash, then combined with a variety of stabilizers and preservatives, pressed into familiar shapes, breaded and deep fried, freeze dried, and then shipped to a McDonald’s near you.”
Aside from chicken and oil, those “stabilizers and preservatives” are said to include dimethylpolysiloxane, a form of silicone also used in cosmetics. Another additive is tertiary butylhydroquinone (TBHQ), a form of butane. According to one report, chicken is only about 50 percent of a McNugget; the remainder is a mixture of corn-derived ingredients, sugars and synthetic substances."

And people give this crap to their kids. No wonder cancer is so prevalent...... YUUUUUCK !!!!!

Politics.....

Tatiana already has a green card, sorry.....she is not on the hunt for a husband to be able to stay here....but anyways, as a green card holder she can do most
things that a US citizen can, except vote.
And she can't run for president either (not born here), otherwise she would, looking at some of the dumb asses out there campaigning and talking crap.
Did you know that Michele Bachmann's husband, Marcus Bachmann runs some kind of a Christian counseling clinic where they "pray the gay away"?
Just based on that fact, Tatiana thinks that Michele Bachmann is an idiot and the same goes for her husband.
Any overly religious person, trying to push their religious views onto others should not even be considered to run for president.
A "leader" should be open minded and intelligent. Pray the gay away? What kind of crap is that? Really?
One of Tatiana's best friends is gay. His life would had been so much easier if he would had been straight, (becaue of society and people like Marcus Bachmann)
the gay thing is not a choice. It's who you are. It doesn't make you a bad person. On the contrary, Tatiana is SOOOOO happy that there are gay people
out there, making this world a brighter place. Like Carson Kressley for example. And Ellen.
The first time Tatiana set her foot in a gay club, she was 16 and going out in Sweden, clubbing every weekend. That first time at the gay club was so much
fun and often it is way better to go to gay clubs than regular clubs. Tatiana doesn't get harassed by love sick straight guys and the music is often better.
There are plenty of examples out there of heterosexual couples, having train wreck marriages,
then they spawn and have no clue what being a parent is all about.
Actually, looking at the views of (most) Republicans.....they are too conservative for Tatiana. No shit!
Tatiana is for gay marriage, pro choice, she thinks that it is high time for marijuana to be legalized.
And believe it or not, Tatiana does not smoke weed (she tried, it makes her nauseous). Yes, you CAN be a stripper and not smoke weed,
do other drugs and get drunk a couple of times a week. Like "normal" chicks don't do all of the above, all the time?
Maybe Tatiana should open her own counseling clinic, Sober Strippers?
Actually Tatiana thinks that all drugs should be legalized, the money spent on the "war on drugs" could be spent on other, useful things.
Like affordable health care for people. It is insane to pay for health insurance each month on top of taxes.
The taxes should cover health care, so you do not have to worry over a bill for your hospital visit that will ruin you financially forever.
It's not like people want to go to the hospital or get sick just for fun.......but shit happens.
And speaking of drugs......has Tatiana done drugs, illegal drugs that is......? YES! And it was great, she loved every minute of it and she has no regrets.
Can she sit next to a pile of cocaine or some pills of E without indulging? Of course. It's a choice.
And most likely Tatiana will enjoy various substances in the future. But on an every day basis? Or at work ever? No.
She doesn't even smoke and very rarely drinks.
So even if some Republicans might have some imaginary solutions for this country's many problems and also the problems of the world......
Tatiana thinks that they are way too conservative, narrow minded and blind. The world is constantly changing and evolving,
people need to be grounded, open minded and willing to change with the times.
