You know I can't really say I completely understand this stuff. What you posted in response to dreedgeek is the easiest to follow I've read so far. But i must be missing some important basic information that would enable me to follow what is being explained more easily. I don't usually have reading comprehension issues but...

What I do get is that I would like to avoid consuming this crap. However, it doesn't seem like there is any way for me to know if the food I am eating has been genetically modified or if it has if it contains antibiotic resistant genes. At least I think that's true.

anyway thanks for the information.
