1 healthily"?
2 A. I think we go on to explain that, do not we, "by making
3 the menu more nutritious", then we go on to say what we
4 have done, reducing fats, etc.
5
6 MR. MORRIS: So the steps you have taken to help customers eat
7 more healthily are "Replacing the lard in our buns with
8 vegetable oil; water base instead of oil based dressings;
9 also we have reduced the amount of fat in our cheese slices
10 and are looking at ways to reduce the salt and sugar in our
11 menu", is that what it is saying?
12 A. Yes, that is not an entire list, but that is what it is
13 saying. Yes.
14
15 Q. When those changes were made that meant your food was
16 healthier?
17 A. Yes.
18
19 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Again, if I might suggest, you have raised
20 your points on this. I did not want to cut you short here
21 because Mr. Oakley accepted responsibility for this
22 leaflet, but you have highlighted the points you wish to
23 make.
24
25 MR. MORRIS: Over the page it says: "Every time you eat at
26 McDonald's you will be eating good nutritious food." If
27 I go into a McDonald's and buy a milk shake and take it
28 away, is that eating good nutritious food?
29 A. Yes, there are a lot of nutrients in a milk shake.
30
31 Q. If I just go in and have some chips, that is good
32 nutritious food?
33 A. Potatoes are also a good source of nutrients, yes.
34
35 Q. If I go in and have a Mega Mac that would be good
36 nutritious food?
37 A. Yes, there are plenty of nutrients in a Mega Mac.
38
39 MS. STEEL: Is there any food you know of that is not nutritious?
40 A. I do not know if you would call it food or not, but you
41 could put up an argument for black coffee or black tea or
42 mineral water.
43
44 Q. Right.
45 A. On their own.
46
47 Q. What about a Coca Cola?
48 A. Coca Cola has a good source of energy, no question of
49 that.
50
51 Q. So you think it is nutritious then?
52 A. Yes, it can be.
53
54 MR. JUSTICE BELL: We ought to have our break. Have you
55 finished with that particular leaflet? I think you
56 probably have quite frankly ----
57
58 MS. STEEL: There was something I wanted to ask actually. From
59 the edition of this leaflet that came before this ----
60 A. Which document are you referring to?
