Go to the grocery store or fruit stand. There will be 10-15 different variety of apples. ALL of them are "GM foods". That is generally the case for many fruits. So, should we not eat fruit anymore?

Actually there are only 3 varieties of bioengineered apples approved in the United States. USDA reports about 1,000-1,500 acres total. They would have "Artic" trade name.
So the average shopper isn't seeing any in regular grocery stores. Same for other fruits.
There are only 2 other fruits approved. -- a papaya and a pink fleshed pineapple.
Most foods labeled bioengineered are because of corn, canola or soybean ingredients (oils etc).
Here is a USDA link to all of the bioengineered foods available in the world.
USDA bioengineered food list.

I wouldn't eat the skin if it has the Gates' symbol on it.
