Day 037 - 14 Oct 94 - Page 34
1 MR. MORRIS: It seems to be the same; I do not know if it is
2 identical.
3
4 MS. STEEL: It is not. That is the old version; there is a new
5 one. But I think they are by and large the same, apart
6 from the actual nutrient content.
7
8 MR. MORRIS: They are difficult to get hold of. I have been to
9 three stores myself. They did not have any ingredients
10 information at those stores.
11
12 MR. JUSTICE BELL: The point is, if I am going to be asked to
13 refer to the very up-to-date one, at some stage I ought to
14 have one. That is all. We need not get bogged down on it
15 now, from some source.
16
17 MR. RAMPTON: My Lord, here is one, June 1993.
18
19 MR. MORRIS: Robert has got about 50 of them. No wonder we
20 cannot get them from the stores!
21
22 MR. JUSTICE BELL: You carry on.
23
24 MR. MORRIS: Mr. Cox ----
25
26 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Are you going to ask him to look at these or
27 can I put them away?
28
29 MR. MORRIS: I just want to say -- I do not know where that
30 came up actually.
31 A. I have seen it.
32
33 Q. That was a side issue, but you did go on to say in your
34 statement that if the Plaintiffs -- I did refer you to a
35 bit in that document, did I not, sorry?
36
37 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Mr. Morris, sit down for a couple of
38 minutes. Find where you are, then we will move on.
39
40 MR. MORRIS: Yes. OK, I have got organised now. We were
41 coming on to "Nutrition: A Question of Balance", a
42 document that was, I think, put at the front of volume
43 VI. If you look, if you open it out and look at the
44 left-hand-side under the picture of the people on
45 bicycles?
46 A. A nice healthy picture.
47
48 Q. Yes. It says: "At McDonald's we have a responsibility to
49 help our customers eat a healthy balanced diet".
50 A. Yes.
51
52 Q. Is that a responsible statement if it was true?
53 A. The degree to which McDonald's have a responsibility
54 I think is something over which is possible to argue for a
55 long time. I have already explained my view.
56
57 MR. JUSTICE BELL: What you say is you do not think they would
58 have a responsibility as caterers unless they adopted it
59 in some way?
60 A. Precisely.
