Genetically modified foods happened because man discovered that a gene could be removed from one species and forced into the cells of another species to bring about a desired trait in the host, or that a gene could be removed from an organism, modified in some way, and inserted back into the same organism.
In the most common genetically modified foods today (2015), the desired trait is either resistance to a herbicide or to produce an insecticide in the plant itself, although there are some other, less common traits produced through genetic modification.
