         Q.   Sorry, of the EAR?
     2        A.  Sorry, of the EAR.
 
     3   Q.   That is almost half of his total fat DRV?
              A.  That is right.
     4
         Q.   For saturated fat, the figure comes out as 7.4, 7 per
     5        cent, that is to say, 152.3 calories, 7 per cent of his
              EAR, remembering that his DRV is 10 or 11 per cent?
     6        A.  Yes.
 
     7   Q.   So in that case he is getting rather more than half?
              A.  Yes, just over two-thirds.
     8
         Q.   So that child, I suppose he has this meal at lunch time,
     9        his parent has to be careful that he does not eat sausages
              and bacon when he gets home for supper?
    10        A.  That could bring him over the limit for that day.
 
    11   Q.   I was going to say or starve him of saturated fat the next
              day?
    12        A.  Yes.
 
    13   Q.   Lettuce and tomato on Wednesday?
              A.  That is right.
    14
         Q.   I want to have a look at the fibre and sodium figures,
    15        again on table 2, fibre first:  We recall that the RNI
              which is, to call it a minimum is not quite accurate, but
    16        it is not a maximum. It is a minimum certainly for some
              people?
    17        A.  Yes.
 
    18   Q.   It may be slightly more than the minimum for other
              people.  1600 milligrams.  Sorry, I will deal with sodium
    19        first.  We see you have calculated the amount of sodium in
              meal four as being 1.3 milligrams per calorie.  This is a
    20        simple calculation.  1.3 times the number of calories
              which is 759, gives us 987 milligrams?
    21        A.  Yes.
 
    22   Q.   In that meal?
              A.  Yes.
    23
         Q.   Does it follow that that person, a 25 year-old male, has
    24        got quite a lot more sodium than he ought to eat that day
               -- never mind should eat?
    25        A.  Are we on table one or two?
  
    26   Q.   Table two? 
              A.  OK. 
    27
         Q.   Meal four, sodium ------
    28        A.  Yes.
 
    29   Q.   --- in milligrams of calorie 1.3 times 759 makes 987, yes?
              A.  That is right.

         Q.   Which if the RNI 1600 milligrams per day, he has a way to
