2 Q. Is that nutritious, then, a Coke?

7

17 MR. MORRIS: Let us go to another document before we finish off
18 this subject -- we have nearly finished this subject now --
19 which was served singularly, last week, I think on Tuesday,
20 on the Plaintiffs. It was served.
21
22 MR. JUSTICE BELL: What is it?
23
24 MR. MORRIS: It is an extract from the Federal Drug
25 Administration's magazine "Consumer".
26
27 (To the witness) Have you heard of that magazine, the
28 FDA Consumer?
29 A. I have certainly heard of the Federal Drug
30 Administration.
31
32 Q. Sorry -- Food and Drug Administration.
33 A. Yes.

37
38 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Until I am told to put it elsewhere, I will
39 put this again behind the very back of Miss Dibb.

41 MR. MORRIS: Yes, thank you.
42
43 (To the witness) Have you seen this magazine, this kind of
44 magazine, this magazine, before?
45 A. No, I have not.

47 Q. The first paragraph, defining "healthy", it says:
48
49 "A 'healthy' food is low in fat and saturated fat,
50 contains limited amounts of cholesterol and sodium, and is
51 a good source of one or more of six important nutrients,
52 under federal regulations issued last May."
53
54 I do not know if you are aware of the federal regulations
55 issued?
56 A. Yes. Obviously, they continue to change all the time.
57 These are not into effect when we were talking about this
58 particular campaign, I think. These are going into effect
59 in some kind of a rolled out period all the way into 1997.
