>Cross-breeding naturally is not even remotely close to genetic manipulation in a lab

Thousands of years of agriculture and trade has made it pretty damn close though. My point is that people are fearful of GMO's even though most of what we consider food staples today are wildly genetically modified frankenstein versions of what they once were. These are all heavily genetically modified from what they once were, but just in a more socially acceptable format that people don't even consider.
