the question I pose is as follows;was the genetically modified
material found in bacteria simply the result of consumption or did the
modified gene actually become part of the genetic chain of the bacteria?
would not a grasshopper which fed on gm plant matter,when tested,reveal
gm material from the food source?would this material be in the
bloodstream or the gut,or both?or would the dna chain of the hopper be
damamged and  altered to accept the modified gene from the food source?I
personally doubt this scenario.how would one separate the bacteria dna
from the dna of nutrients consumed by the bacteria?
