Nearly every thing that you eat has been genetically modified in one way or another. Recently due to genome sequencing and advancements in science, scientists have been able to modify crops to be resistant to insects, etc. But consider, that before the time of Mendel humans have been modifying crops and animals to suit our needs through selective breeding - genetic modification on a smaller scale. The corn you eat today is not the maize of the native Americans 500 years ago.
