Watermelon
I eat watermelon a lot during the summer. Reccently, it has been engineered so there are no black seeds. The white ones are still there, but the black ones are gone. No more seed spitting contests!

Chicken
My family eats chicken. Now chickens are being engineereed through biotechnology to convert their feed into more meat and less skin and abdominal fat. It hasn't been done yet for consumers, as far as I can tell, but it's well on the way. So in the near future, we'll be eating chickens that were designed to have the parts we want to eat.

Car Rides
My family drives places constantly. On Easter we drove 6 1/2 hours to go to my dad's family's celebration. Some gas now is made with corn so it is better for the enviroment. This lets us drive far with less enviromental impact.
