US capitalism and imperialism have been nothing but politically motivated to use GMOs to boost big business profit. GMOs are an extreme model of capitalist, industrial, chemical agriculture. Food is already commodified, dependent on the world markets and speculation, and seen as a means to profit, rather than a source of life. GM seeds are patented, which by definition means exclusion of ‘unauthorised’ use. Big corporations like Monsanto get a monopoly position and control farmers’ practices, forcing farmers to buy new seeds every season. GMOs are plants whose DNA has been altered by inserting the DNA from other species of plants, animals, bacteria or viruses.
