There are those who say TTIP is a threat to Europe and there are those who say that's a conspiracy theory which was my immediate intuitive reaction after all the secret plotting was mentioned. And if GMOs is listed as one of the problems and they're clearly not a problem it seems to undermine the credibility of the criticism. Pesudoscience (anti-GMO) and conspiracy theory tend to go hand in hand.
It ain't a conspiracy mate, the issue with GMO's and food safety in general with respect to TTIP is that the US allows a whole lot more than the EU, the EU allows virtually no GM foods. For any bi-lateral trade deal, something would have to give.
