The majority of Congress is being kept in the dark while representatives of US corporations are being consulted and privy to the details.If the TPP is adopted the door will be open wider for human rights and environmental abuse. Some of the things we should expect to see include:
more large scale farming and more monocultures;
destruction of local economies;
no input into how our food is grown or what we will be eating;
more deforestation;
increased use of herbicides and pesticides;
increased patenting of life forms;
more GMO plants and foods; and
no labeling of GMOs in food.
Together these are a step backwards for human rights and a giant step towards Monsanto� ??s control of our food.

Please pass the word to others about the TPP as most Americans are unaware of this trade agreement or its ominous effects if passed.
