I wonder if you are aware that ANY difference you see between a plant and its wild-type parent is because of changes in the genes? For example, those huge knobbly purple streaked "heirloom" tomatoes are no more "natural" than that cheese stuff that squirts out of a can. Their genes are different. Their proteins are different. Their fats are different.
It does not matter how the genetic engineering is accomplished--or even if no genetic engineering takes place--the offspring are genetically altered from the parents.
There is no more a baseline genome for the foods that we eat than there is a baseline climate for the earth from which we are deviating due to human activity.
Article about ancestral tomatoes.
There is no rational reason to suddenly be afraid of eating genetically engineered foods just because we found new and precise methods of engineering them in the last 40 years. And we are able to understand both the starting material and the end product with far more detailed knowledge than ever before. It's a big improvement over randomly crossing plants (or animals), hoping to get more desirable genetic traits than deleterious ones.

You’re twisting words.
Gene splicing is nothing like the natural process produced by pollenation.
It is impossible for the result of gene splicing to be food.
Do you think everyone is stupid?

Sorry, no, the processes are not identical.
Gene splicing is used to insert unnatural features, sometimes taken from animals or insects.
This process does not produce food; it produces disaster for the fool that eats the product.
