29 MR. MORRIS: Mr. Cannon, if people are seeking to improve the
30 health of the population, what kind of foods should they
31 be promoting?
32 A. You mean policy makers, medical professionals?
33
34 Q. Anyone who is seeking to improve the health of the
35 population?
36 A. What sort of foods or what sort of nutritional
37 content?
38
39 Q. What kinds of foods should they be promoting?
40 A. The foods they should be promoting (and this is now
41 according to the government issued food selection guide,
42 which is approved by government as a whole, which came out
43 a couple of months ago) which is consistent with advice
44 from government for the last 10 years, a lot more
45 vegetables, a lot more fruit, more starchy foods, breads,
46 foods of cereal origin, preferably whole grain. That is
47 what they recommend. Again referring to the so-called
48 healthy, the so-called food selection guide, there is a
49 section in it called fatty sugary foods which is
50 recommended to consume only occasionally, i.e. it is a
51 good idea to consume a lot less of those and, more
52 generally, foods with a substantial amount of fat or
53 saturated fat in them which tends to be foods of animal
54 origin, meat, milk, if it is from fat, dairy produce, meat
55 products, that sort of thing.
56
57 Q. If people are seeking to improve the population's health,
58 would it be sensible or responsible to encourage people to
59 eat foods which are nutritionally worse than the dietary
60 guidelines?
