Genetically Modified Eggplants

Just yesterday I was reading about fake eggs in China. Today, there are genetically modified eggplants in India! What happened to normal food? Why must food products be changed?? What is normal food these days anyways???

I'm sure a whole heap of experiments were conducted in the process of coming up with it, and that it would have been proven safe for consumption before releasing it to the general public, but why? If pests are attacking crops, shouldn't they think of ways to eradicate the pests instead of harming the product?

I've also read that the cost of growing these genetically modified crops are not cheap and wonder if it's protected from pests even. I mean, if pests don't even want to eat it, it must be awful for humans too, right?
