Christa was our only speaker of the day, who gave her last speech from the competent communicator. She talked about the benefits and dangers of genetically modified organisms, or genetically engineered organisms. In her speech, she said most studies have shown that these organisms are safe to eat, and several of the studies that have shown that they are dangerous have been debunked. One reason Christa said that people are wary to trust these foods because studies that have been done to show that GMOs are safe had been done by companies that grow GMO crops. Because of this, Christa said that most people in the US are more willing to believe studies done by the UN. Peter was her evaluator who told Christa she had done a great job studying and presenting a difficult subject. One thing he did say was that she needed to take a breath and slow her pace so she was not racing through her speech.
