but I don't run Phillipine agriculture and don't espouse any Greenpeace drama, but glyphosate-ready grains and when used as a spray-on ripening and desssicant - not so much and would rather not consume GMO (glyphosate) nor other pesticides on other grains and veggies that threaten the lives of "good" pollinators such as bees in our food chain. Then again, I'm a tenant that tries to have a 40 forty inches organic garden every year, but DH still works FT and we're getting tired and terrified of high costs of housing and foods as we get older and older...

That said, DH found a dead birdie, likely a sparrow or finch, on our front sidewalk yesterday; no wounds or broken bones on inspection, but already partly consumed by insects. It wasn't there in the AM, so no telling how it died. He gloved and suited up to dispose of said little bird then disinfected the sidewalk as the H1N1 seems to be spreading again courtesy of dairy cows, and we love our domestic and wild ducks (mean/nasty migratory Canadian geese not so much). Note: only pasturized milk from the grocery in our household but lots of wild migratory birds--awaiting at least a few hummingbirds at our feeders. In addition, I'm so tired of hearing about food recalls - wasteful processing by humans and greedflation inflicted on consumers, I'm sure).
