     1        it can work out what the calorific value of the highlighted
     2        meals are.
     3
     4   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  64 explains what it is:  "We have developed
     5        two sample meal plans to illustrate how McDonald's can be
     6        part of a healthy lifestyle".
     7
     8   MR. RAMPTON:  Yes, they are based on the average calorie
     9        allowances for a 16 year-old male and a 46 year-old female,
    10        according to the National Research Council.  May I be
    11        entirely clear, my Lord, on what it is that I am being
    12        asked to find?
    13
    14   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  You are being asked to try to find some
    15        document or documents which would set out the nutritional
    16        information with regard, for instance, to an egg McMuffin
    17        or a sausage biscuit with eggs, so one can see how many
    18        calories they were and what percentage of those calories
    19        were fat and/or saturated fat, total fat and saturated fat
    20        and so on.
    21
    22   MR. RAMPTON:  I am just wondering -- I will obviously do that if
    23        your Lordship asks us to, we will do it -- whether the
    24        information is not, in fact, already there.
    25
    26   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  It may be.  If, in fact, it is among the
    27        documents and they can be averted to, then there is no need
    28        to look further.  That is why I am suggesting it need not
    29        be done today, but it seems to me it is sufficient if
    30        I express a desire to see any documentation there is which
    31        gives the figures.
    32
    33   MR. RAMPTON:  It is not in all circumstances sufficient because
    34        I might contest it, but not in this instance.
    35
    36   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  All right, it may make a pretty thin
    37        impression if McDonald's say that this illustrates how
    38        their meals can be part of a healthy lifestyle, but have
    39        not even bothered to try to find the supporting
    40        information.
    41
    42   MR. RAMPTON:  I said, not in this instance.
    43
    44   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.  We will break off there and come back
    45        to your list.  If you care over the adjournment to make
    46        sure you have your bundle references for anything else you
    47        want to raise ready?
    48
    49   MR. MORRIS:  We will try.

    52                                                     2.00 p.m.. 
    53
    54   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes?
    55
    56   MR. MORRIS:  I believe we were moving on to advertising or
    57        should we deal with the blanked out document in -----
    58
    59   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Why do you not deal with that?
