Day 266 - 20 Jun 96 - Page 50
1 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Let us look at it this way. If his intake is
2 3,000 kilocalories a day, let us say that ---
3
4 MR. RAMPTON: Yes.
5
6 MR. JUSTICE BELL: -- if he is going to be down to 33 per cent,
7 that is under 35 per cent, a bit over 30 but under 35
8 (which you say is the figure to take or one of the figures
9 to take), then he must not have more than 1,000
10 kilocalories of fat in that day. This is neglecting
11 completely the question of whether it is useful to look at
12 what you eat in one day in a week, or anything of that
13 kind.
14
15 MR. RAMPTON: No, I know.
16
17 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I am putting that to one side. But since his
18 sensible limit is said to be 1,000 kilocal of fat in the
19 day, he has had nearly -- he has had 580 of that in this
20 one meal.
21
22 MR. RAMPTON: Yes.
23
24 MR. JUSTICE BELL: So he can only take on 420 in the rest of the
25 day. If he had meal number one again during the day, he
26 would have exceeded that.
27
28 MR. RAMPTON: Exactly, just.
29
30 MR. JUSTICE BELL: He would have exceeded that just.
31
32 MR. RAMPTON: If he had had meal one and meal two he would not
33 even have done that.
34
35 MR. JUSTICE BELL: No, he would not, but in his third meal he
36 has got 900 of his kilocal, so he has only got to have 100
37 in his next one and he is there on the limit. I am putting
38 aside all thought of whether this is realistic.
39
40 MR. RAMPTON: I know. That is my whole point.
41
42 MR. JUSTICE BELL: So, there I am waiting for my third meal in
43 the day and thinking of a glass of orange juice.
44
45 MR. RAMPTON: Exactly, but you have possibly turned yourself off
46 food probably for the rest of the week by eating two
47 McDonald's meals in one day. That is the whole point,
48 because that scenario, which is what is proposed by those
49 who say that McDonald's food leads to an unhealthy diet,
50 has to be the one which is contemplated, which is totally
51 unreal.
52
53 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I have put my reservation about it. You ask
54 your question, anyway.
55
56 MR. RAMPTON: I do not think I can remember what I was going to
57 ask!
58
59 MR. JUSTICE BELL: If I may summarise what
