This is so dangerous and immoral, and dangerous!
Is the motivation of Monsanto to control the food supply or just to be able to sell their seeds every year to the farmers?

Monsantos seeds are typically superior and thats why farmers buy them. Its a free market and the farmers can buy their seeds from another company. The farmers are not forced to buy Monsantos seeds and its Monsantos right to make their seeds unreproducable.
