Because TTIP is heavily influenced by the lobbying of big multinationals, the Monsanto's and the likes. As a result it favors the big food companies over small local producers. Eventually TTIP will lead to less local variety of food products and more food that is imported and therefore less fresh.
- sampo 10y ago> the Monsanto's and the likes Monsanto is an agrichemical and seeds company. It is not in the food business. I know 'Monsanto' is sometimes used as a general synonym for 'evil company', but this is somewhat inappropriate.
- Dylan16807 10y ago1. Monsanto wants the food grown with its seeds to be sold more. 2. TTIP is enormously encompassing, about far more than food. 3. A cursory search will show lobbying by Monsanto for TTIP.
