How exactly are they making "naturally abundant plant life" scarce?
By making their seeds more profitable, they are given an unfair advantage. People replace their natural seeds with GM that happen to depend on their pesticides and then forbid you to recultivating 2nd generation seeds. So they become dependent on GM seeds, which are scarce. That process can also be described as taking something that is naturally abundant and making it artificially scarce. Next question.
Monsanto doesn't have competitors, now? It has a monopoly on GM seeds and can charge whatever it wants without a hit to its bottom line? Really?
