1 hours?
2 A. Not necessarily. I do not think this report would
3 state that that is because it is what they ate at lunch
4 time. I do not think we can draw that conclusion.
5
6 Q. If we refer back to page 28 the implications of that last
7 paragraph as indicated, "(see paras 8.3.4.2 and 8.4.6)";
8 8.3.4.2 on page 28, it refers to those particular girls.
9 Shall I read it out? "Of the older girls, 54 per cent ate
10 out of school at cafes etc at lunchtime. Although their
11 daily energy intakes were no different from other groups
12 of older girls, they had the lowest intakes of iron, and
13 of protein, calcium, carotene, retinol equivalent,
14 nicotinic acid equivalent and vitamin D. The nutritional
15 quality of the daily diets of these girls, in terms of
16 nutrients per", what is MJ?
17 A. Megajoules.
18
19 Q. "... was lower than in any other group of older girls
20 taking lunch from any other source."
21
22 MR. JUSTICE BELL: It looks to me as if you must be wrong when
23 you say that it was not related to lunch during the school
24 week, because the structure of both paragraphs 9.5.6 and
25 9.6.6 appears to be related to the type of lunch consumed
26 during the school week, and the paragraph Mr. Morris has
27 just read out looks as if it must be the same 54 girls,
28 does it not?
29
30 MR. MORRIS: Yes.
31
32 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Who ate out of school at cafes etc. at lunch
33 time?
34 A. Yes. Sorry, what I am trying to say is whether the
35 foods they ate most of ----
36
37 MR. JUSTICE BELL: I see.
38 A. -- necessarily came from the source of their lunch.
39 It would be their total weekly intake had more eggs etc.
40 etc.. Of those 54 girls they showed a higher total
41 consumption of those foods.
42
43 MR. MORRIS: I believe I might have said, when I read out
44 8.3.4.2, "54 per cent". It is 54 girls, which is 11 per
45 cent.
46
47 MR. JUSTICE BELL: It is obviously the same 54 girls.
48 A. Yes.
49
50 MR. MORRIS: If we go to 8.4.6 on page 29, third line: "...
51 the nutritional quality of their lunchtime meals" -- this
52 is for the older children who ate out of school -- "was
53 lower" -- sorry, "The proportion of daily energy intakes
54 obtained by older children who ate out of school was
55 similar to that of children who took a midday meal at
56 home. However the nutritional quality of their lunchtime
57 meals was lower. In particular, the older boys obtained
58 the lowest amounts of protein, calcium, iron, retinol
59 equivalent, thiamin, riboflavin and nicotinic acid
60 equivalent from their cafe meals".
