Will rain in SF delay the 7th Game of Cardinals vs Giants?

San Jose Mercury steps in and says nothing short of Noah's flood will stop this game. There might be delays, but game must start and finish today.

I live in the boondocks of Northern Calif, so don't really know the weather expected today in SF -

Australian governmental agency is involved in creating new super Gm wheat

it sounds scarey as heck to me:

As someone who is now totally intolerant to Gm wheat, I am alarmed at how quickly (and without any type of review), these new Gm products are flooding the farmlands of the world.

And of course, vast segments of our population claim they have no problem with Gm food - but they have to ingest Prilosec and other expensive over the counter meds in order to get through a single day of eating American Frankenfoods.

It is a win-win for the Big Agri Firms - many of whom are subsidiaries of the Big Pharma industries, or vice versa.
So one end of the business makes you sick, and the other end of the business attempts to keep you around as a consumer a little bit longer.

About truedelphi

I joined DU following the election melt down that produced the second George the Lesser Term of Office. I am outraged by war, by out-sourcing of jobs, by Corporate control of both parties, and enheartened by my fellow citizens who are bravely part of "Occupy!"
