such an ordinary plant
Like every other plant we have seen in our life, this one looks ordinary. So it's dry and a little gross, but that's not bad. It is natural, as are natural mutations - height, width, number of flowers. It's not unusual. We do not see what may seem unusual. We don't see a plant's defense mechanism enhanced by a gene from another plant, we don't see higher nutritional values, and we don't even see a difference from an ordinary plant. It's there, we just don't need to care. What we might be interested in is the method of cultivation. This can harm us. Indirectly, but slowly. Any way we look at it. Inserting a genome from a plant into another plant so that the second plant has some characteristic of the first is unrealistic for many, but it is a fact about which we do not know much.
We don't know much about it, those who should know about it know enough. As a result, what usually happens with complex topics is happening again, the public is not educated, but has opinions. But that is irrelevant. In other words, the lack of education of the public forces a complicated dispute of misunderstood information to be simplified so that ordinary people can understand this simplification. In the end, but there is no correct answer, whether this extraordinarily ordinary plant is enriched with a genome that destroys pests that take a bite out of it, or gives it more nutrients so that the people of small forgotten countries do not die of malnutrition, or simply produces more crops on a smaller scale area so that the fields can be smaller.
It is impossible to answer a complex question with a simple answer. It is not appropriate to forgive the mistakes of the present, for the sake of answers for the future and feeding the ever-growing number of people.

But what about that? What can we do to help the cause?
