Now I have an excuse to feed people bugs. "Oh, I didn't think you'd mind, they're in tomato sauce and other red stuff like that, and you eat those."

Pretty much a list of things I avoid like the plague... Not really, I pretty much make all my food from scratch though. And only drink water. From my tap.after its been filtered.

Your government puts fluoride in your tap water, which can fuck up bone development and lower IQs along with a number of other side effects.

I KNOW. D: My teeth are all fucked up because of it.. But when you get down to it, bottled water is the same as tap only with chemicals in it from the bottles. So filtered water is really the best thing for drinking in my moronic country.

I believe she can spell her username any way she likes. Also, your username reminds me of a song. "D I N O S A U R a dinosaur." Yeah, there's a little tune to it and everything.

My dad's allergic to red dye #40 and red dye #2 so I wonder if he's actually allergic to the cochineal beetles in the red dye...
