     1   Q.   -- a typical McDonald's meal, yes?
              A.  There are really two conclusions I would draw from
     2        this; one is that even for a heavy user at McDonald's in
              UK terms, the proportion of total calories for a week is
     3        relatively small.  As we agreed, it is of the order of 5
              per cent.  Secondly -- and again we will provide you with
     4        the information -----
 
     5   Q.   This is one McDonald's meal a week?
              A.  A week, yes.
     6
         Q.   Not a heavy user?
     7        A.  That is a heavy user in McDonald's terms in this
              country.
     8
         MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Leave that out of it for the moment because
     9        that is another little compartment.
              A.  Secondly, it is perfectly feasible to put together a
    10        diet which meets the dietary recommendations using normal
              foods.
    11
         MS. STEEL:   You mentioned -----
    12
         MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Now are we going on to something else?
    13
         MS. STEEL:  No, on the same thing; we want to finish this off.
    14        (To the witness):  You said that the changes that
              Mr. Morris is referring to have been just small changes in
    15        relation to individual items?
              A.  Yes.
    16
         Q.   If we look at this chart, if we look at No. 2 and No. 4,
    17        No. 2, 51 per cent of your calories are coming from fat in
              this meal, and if we look at number -----
    18        A.  Sorry, can you just -- I have not quite followed you.
              Which table are we on, for a start?
    19
         MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Table 2.
    20
         MS. STEEL:  Table 2.
    21        A.  OK, yes, I am with you.
 
    22   Q.   Meal 2?
              A.  Yes.
    23
         Q.   The fat content, the fat as a percentage of calories is
    24        51.4 per cent?
              A.  Yes.
    25
         Q.   If you look at No. 4, it is 48.5 per cent? 
    26        A.  Yes. 
  
    27   Q.   No. 2 is the Big Breakfast, the orange and coffee.  No. 4
              is the cheeseburger, the regular fries, the diet coke and
    28        the apple pies?
              A.  Yes.
