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.

1. 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.

Currently under EU regulations it is a requirement that GM be declared, so it is wholly appropriate.
