     1        certainly potatoes are a very rich source of vitamin C, but
     2        if you bake the potato with the skin on, rather than deep
     3        fry it, you have got probably more vitamin C; I do not
     4        know.  May be you will say it is just the same?
     5        A.   Thank you, my Lord.
     6
     7   Q.   With less fat?
     8        A.   Yes.
     9
    10   MR. MORRIS:  Well---
    11
    12   MR. JUSTICE BELL:   I do not know what you are saying, Mr.
    13        Morris.
    14
    15   MR. MORRIS:  I was going say in the recommendations to cut down
    16        of frying with foods, but I thought we have heard it all
    17        before anyway.
    18
    19   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.  That is why I put the point to him.
    20        Yes, but that is that is but a way of demonstrating the
    21        point you are seeking to make?
    22        A.   Absolutely.
    23
    24   Q.   For me to consider?
    25        A.   Yes, my Lord.
    26
    27   MS. STEEL:  It does appear from your chart that peppers are a
    28        very good source of vitamin C as well?
    29        A.   Yes, indeed they are.
    30
    31   Q.   Rather than lemons which one might not want to eat.  When
    32        we were looking at the figures on page 4 of your
    33        statement:"Of 1,905,000 eating once weekly at McDonald's.
    34        That meal is likely to contribute a seventh of the week's
    35        saturated fat and a minimum of a fourteenth."
    36        A.   Yes.
    37
    38   Q.   I think Mr. Rampton was putting to you McDonald's could
    39        only be seen as a seventh or a fourteenth of the
    40        contribution?
    41        A.  Yes.
    42
    43   Q.   But if that is the case, that would be in relation to the
    44        entire 1,905,000 people?
    45        A.   Of that population, yes.
    46
    47   Q.   Yes.
    48        A.   Yes.
    49
    50   Q.   It is just that that was actually taken into consideration
    51        in the figures?
    52        A.   Yes.
    53
    54   MR. MORRIS:  I will just go through the bits and pieces, in no
    55        particular order.
    56
    57   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Did you want to ask -- is Miss Steel asking
    58        the questions you nutrients?  Did you check the 41.3 or
    59        413?
    60        A.   I am sorry we did not.  I will do so and find out
