what's the world coming to Genetic splicing!

Dear People,
Most of the work done with our foods passes by unseen and untasted. Only when they goof up big time do we hear about it. Like the corn that kills. But the tomatoes that are beautiful and red and so tough skinned they can be harvested with a cotton picker! They have lost all their flavor,and probably food value. Now they have new bananas that are so Big! and stay firm for much longer but have lost their flavor and ability to produce seeds! So in the not too distant future we shall not have any! I'm only a lowly consumer not educated in Botany or genetics. When I first heard of what they could do make grains drought and disease resistant I was so elated. Then I came to understand it was all about the big bucks. I really don't have any answers, but teach our kids and grandkids to give not take, but to be happy with less. We started giving animals to disadvantaged people of the world. Do you have any suggestions?
Love Jack
