2 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Have you got it written down?
3
4 MS. STEEL: I have not actually got it because I have only got
5 one copy and I have notes on it.
6
7 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Can we photocopy it on there?
8
9 MS. STEEL: Not really. I have notes all over it.
10
11 MR. RAMPTON: Can we not use these things to blot out the notes
12 just for the time being, because I really would like to
13 have it.
14
15 MS. STEEL: It is very short.
16
17 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Take it very slowly then, because I know it
18 will come on Caseview but I would like to copy it into my
19 notebook.

21 MS. STEEL: OK. McDonald's portray their food as a useful and
22 nutritious part of any diet, when the reality is that an
23 average McDonald's meal is high in fat, sugar, animal
24 products and salt (sodium) and low in fibre, vitamins and
25 minerals; and that if your diet is high in fat, etcetera --

37 everybody is affected or even necessarily most are affected
38 or many are affected. I have said this, but just to say
39 that the previous meanings that I have said to me are the
40 same; it is just different ways of describing the same
41 thing.
42
43 I am going to go slightly out of my original order now,
44 because I wanted to deal with meaning H. You said not to
45 bother with a meaning for G.
46
47 MR. JUSTICE BELL: No.
48
49 MS. STEEL: We have actually got a pleaded meaning for the last
50 two parts of the nutrition section of the leaflet, but it
51 covers both G and H, so I have tried to express H on its
52 own. But if you wanted to look at the original one, it is
53 meaning D in the -----
54
55 MR. JUSTICE BELL: We have been told that we can forget
56 meaning G.
57
58 MS. STEEL: Yes -- no, this one is meaning D in our one, for
59 some reason; I do not know why. In our further and better
60 particulars of the particulars of justification and fair
