GM has a long way to go and I wonder if we will ever see the potential while obsessed with the pitfalls real and imagined. For me the problem is that the changes made through creating new hybrids designed to look good, travel well, last longer etc have seriously compromised flavour. Tomatoes particularly cherry/salad types are a good example, many are tasteless and disgusting, same with Peaches which bare no resemblance to the ones I remember. So will gm suffer the same fate? I suspect it will unless the taste factor gets some attention. If all we get is a fruit or vegetable that tastes like covonia I for one will pass.
