If you want to be totally realistic about how dumb this argument can get; consider how much every single crop that humans grow has been selectively altered to suit us even before "Genetic modification" in labs became a viable option in the 90's.
Corn, is one of the most obvious, look at it's ancestral root Maze and how much Corn has been altered from it's "Natural" state to benefit us.
Bananas are another fun one; "Natural" bananas are short, and mostly full of seeds.
Obviously the list goes on, and I'm not going to list every crop ever.
I always love making the crazy vegan types that hate "GMO" foods realize that virtually no crop that humans consume isn't genetically modified from thousands of years of selective breeding and cultivation to suit us. Most of them start getting pissed when you point it out and say shit like "Well, at least wasn't altered in a lab!" - what's the end difference between lab altered and selective bred crops that end in higher yields of edible parts? Besides a globalist company being involved, not fuckin much. We haven't eaten anything "Natural" in thousands of years, unless you're out hunting your own game for meat, because even animals are "GMO's" per domestication, and selectively breeding qualities we desire; Hell, even dogs are GMO's...
Oh, and one hilarious part of this? Most soybeans are Genetically modified (By Monsanto, of course) as well. They were first altered in labs in 1996, and now constitute aprx. 82% of the US Soybean yield... 🤣
