     1        we have to keep stopping you, because we do not have or we
     2        do not all have the pages you wish to refer.  It is not in
     3        any way your responsibility  I am just explaining why we
     4        are going in fits and starts.  What have we got here?  We
     5        have a cover and contents which is helpful.
     6
     7   MR. MORRIS:  I have page V then 1, 2, 3, and then 46, 47, 48,
     8        49.
     9        A.  Well, that is wrong.
    10
    11   Q.   We should have page 45?
    12        A.  In the passage of events it is understandable, but the
    13        page needed is page 45.
    14
    15   MR. RAMPTON:  Does it look like that?
    16        A.  Yes.
    17
    18   MR. RAMPTON:  I have that but nothing else.
    19
    20   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  What I suggest is since Mr. Rampton has it,
    21        you refer to the bits you would like to, Mr. Cannon, and
    22        someone will provide me with a photocopy as soon as
    23        possible.  Mr. Cannon, you wanted to refer to something on
    24        page 45.  Carry on, please.
    25
    26   THE WITNESS:  Thank you.  What I wanted to mention here is the
    27        status of this document.  The document as a whole was
    28        produced as a process that started in 1989.  There were
    29        successive pre-conferences that were held in different
    30        regions of the world which were then brought to a head at
    31        the beginning of 1992, then through a succession of
    32        meetings and processes between the meetings, and then
    33        finally brought to a conclusion in Rome in December 1992.
    34
    35        The report, as a whole, on the world nutrition situation
    36        is particularly concerned with developing countries and,
    37        therefore, si particularly concerned with under-nutrition
    38        and food security.  However, there is a section called
    39        "Promoting Appropriate Diets and Healthy Lifestyles".
    40        Mr. Rampton has the first page of that.  The first
    41        paragraph of that which is endorsed by all member states
    42        is the one which I produced in evidence, which I am here
    43        producing in evidence.
    44
    45   MR. MORRIS:  Would you like to read it out?
    46        A.  It is before the court in my witness statement.  It
    47        makes the same point as before.  It characterises what the
    48        so-called affluent or urbanised diet is and how that diet
    49        is developed with affluence in urbanisation.  Then it goes
    50        on to say of diet:  "These and other risk factors, as well 
    51        as increased life expectancy, are associated with the 
    52        increased prevalence of obesity, hypertension, 
    53        cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, osteoporosis and some
    54        cancers with immense social and health care costs".
    55
    56   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  That is right at the end of your
    57        supplemental statement.
    58
    59   MR. MORRIS:  Shall we move on to the next document then?  The
    60        next document which we have four pages of extracts from,
