Although man has been genetically modifying food for thousands of years this business of producing seeds that grow plants that are resistant to pesticides that are produced by the same company that make the seed is insidious in my book. Another thing I don’t like is the fact that farmers can’t save their seeds and have to buy new seed every year and can be sued if they don’t, it’s preposterous. How can you paten one of natures creations?

You can't, but you can patent a modification to nature's creations if you can prove the modification is novel, non-obvious and has utility.
I'm not arguing with your overall objection to the impact on farmers, but it's the genetic modification, I believe, that is patented, not the natural genome of the food substance.
