Reasonably? Yes. Favorably? I sure won't.

Why is sentiment irrational? I want to eat genetically unmodified pig/plants like my ancestors did. And you know what? If I had enough money I can do that. So the poor and those oblivious to the risks of consuming food modified by humans as an experiment at the genetic level become live experiments. Might be centuries before we know of any unintended consequences?

Why am I irrational to observe living things have an order to how they reproduce and mutate? When change to the order is made not at a macro level but directly at the very foundation of the living thing then isn't it wise to wait a very long time and observe the consequence?

Why the rush? The world already throws away more than enough food to feed the hungry,it's not a supply issue. If beef and grazing animal consumption is eliminated things become much more pleasant.

Why is this debate always seen through a lense of science vs ignorant pseudoscience point?
