The natural world tries to kill you all the time. Why are you trusting that! Seriously though, both of these arguements are somewhat fallacious. Saying tha GMOs are safe because, “It happens all the time in nature.” Is the same fallacy that it isn’t safe because, “It isn’t natural to accelerate the process with genetic modification.” Both are just mental shortcuts for people so they don’t have to think about the insanely complex topic of GMOs, the effects, and what the right path forward is for all of us.
