well genetic engineering maybe does not harm your organism. there are just some genetic features which get transfered into vegetables/fruit (for example omega-3 fat acids from fish into strawberries). you can't really see any harm on this topic.

however, making plants resistant against pests is a very different issue and should be seen sceptically;
the ecosystem is very balanced and changes in plants can effect different organism that you did not want to kill in the first place.
i.e: you transfer a pesticide in corn to kill a pest. the pest eats the palnt and gets infected. the pest however gets eaten by a natural topological higher species which gets also the pesticide into his organism and will also die eventually.
