GMOs as technology, and the effects of GMOs on food sovereignty, are two very different things. I don't want multinational biotech companies to be the only ones

GMOs as technology, and the effects of GMOs on food sovereignty, are two very different things. I don't want multinational biotech companies to be the only ones able to compete.
Though the technology isn't harmless either. Let's assume sufficient care is and perpetually will be taken to avoid major disasters. What remains is amoral for-profit companies that now have far more ability to engineer food for market fit. Why is this bad? Because carrots and apples will slowly turn into the equivalents of Snickers and Cheetos - those are the products we get when not constrained by nature.
