Um.. what's wrong with genetically engineered food? Guess what, you've been eating it your whole life. Your parents have eaten it their whole lives, your parent's parents, etc. for thousands of years.
The wheat we eat today? It's genetically identical to the wheat the Romans grew (they've done tests). It's because they cross bred the grains (re: genetically engineered) until they got what they want, and have been since cloning the strand.
The avacado you ate last week? Genetically IDENTICAL to every other avacado in the US, and has been since the early 20th Century which pre-dates any understanding of DNA. Every single avacado is a clone of one plant, long before Dolly.
So the only thing that separates it now is the scientists have more control over the product they get, with less hit and miss (though it still exists). We'll get larger food yields with less pesticide, fertilizer, etc used to raise it.
