Ray Comfort's favorite sex toy is a prime example - the banana we think of today is an asexual product of human engineering for quite some time. Never mind the intelligent design crap - like corn (maize), it doesn't resemble a lot of its forebears.

I think the thing that people worry about most is the idea of putting animal genes into plant genetics, or at least that's what they shout about the most. A lot of the ones I've encountered don't have a particularly robust science background OR a good concept of what it's like to break your back trying to get food from the earth (and protect it from pests...and grow enough to feed your family...and keep it watered during droughts...)
