I suggest that by selecting foods that grow faster and cheaper for the last 50 odd years we have narrowed the gene base of our food sources for those genes, which we then consume. Now we are faced with an obesity epidemic. Is our food source even slightly overloaded with hi growth hormones or genes which then affect us similarly. I don't believe the two are utterly divorcable.
