#2USA and Europe will have the same kind of "agreement",it's called something like the trans atlantic partnership => bad for EU workers and bad for USA workers , especially since nobody asked us ( Europeans ) if we agreed on this or not. It will only be good for big corps and banks. And nobody's talking about it.

#6There seems to be a lot of scare mongering in that video which doesn't help put the point across.."franken-foods"...really? GM foods are and will continue to be a great leap forward in sustainable, scalable agriculture.
I still have no idea what the "TPP" thing is...when I look at the other sources I just get things like "you will be banned from being able to modify the save file on your game"...huh really? What if I only support indie developers and publishers who don't enforce arbitrary restrictions? Vote with your purse etc.
And then there are a lot of the "it could", "it might", "possibly"...reeks of the same politics where "death panels" and other bullcrap comes from...following the sources and reading the actual proposals it is much less sinister.
http://whytheheckshouldicareaboutthetpp.com/?f=10&q=6 - The words "unauthorized" should be in there...which has a much less powerful point.
Present a reasonable, scientifically backed argument...then maybe I will listen.

It's hard to know the facts because much of the TPP negotiations and data are being kept secret:
"Lack of transparency: The entire process has shut out multi-stakeholder participation and is shrouded in secrecy."

The issue with "franken-foods" is, I'm guessing, that brands will not have to label if a food has GMO in it. I thought the US already doesn't require this?
Basically, it's some sort of anti-consumer deal (presumably, because consumers have no input in it).
Improperly labelled food would impede consumer choice (and thus voting with your purse). Given how popular the organic movement is, labeling food as containing GMO would probably be a significant factor in influencing consumer purse-voting habits.

Excuse my ignorance, but I don't understand why this kind of agreement is necessarily "bad for EU workers and bad for USA workers"?
Can you explain?

And they shouldn't be required to do so. Most foods today are GM in one way or another. It will just become a sign for consumers to stay away from those products when there's really no good reason to do so.
