Why is TTIP more than a trade agreement?

EU and US are currently negotiating a trade and investment agreement. How will this deal affect people from both regions and around the world? See reflections from EU and US activists who gathered to discuss about the impacts and possible solutions.

Before I begin my rant, just let it be known I am basically conservative, I am PRO commerce, I do business in the US and the UK.
We have such a small group of people trying to bring our food supply back underneath the INSANITY threshold, (to say noting of healthy) and the TTIP will unravel everything that they have accomplished.
Every American should be forced to participate in this debate. The TTIP is NOT about trade, it's about corporate greed. This is about placing profit ahead of even the basic human considerations we look to our government to protect for us, such a the food we eat and the health care that is provided. We look to the US Government and the people of the EU look to theirs. Based on these treasonous considerations, my hope is fading fast.
The only thing that outrages me more than what these mega-corporations are trying to cram down the throat of the people of the EU, is the fact that these same corporations have been doing this to OUR SHEEOPLE for years. We are unaware... we are too concerned about who is sleeping with whom.
I hope the people in the EU stand against this. Not your governments, as they have been bought just like ours. Don't buy this agreement. Everything that makes you European will be gone.The reason this whole agreement is so "secretive" is because the damage it will do to our ways of life will be irreparable.

Really TTIP says All future Political risks are to be born by member Populations whereas formally these were a normal risk of doing business born by Corporations. Why should member Populations accept this reassignment of risk?
