     2   MR. MORRIS:  If McDonald's want to disown it, that is up to
     3        them.  It says in this document -- I quote -- "At
     4        McDonald's we have a responsibility to help our customers
     5        eat a healthy balanced diet"?
     6        A.  I would agree with that.
     7
     8   Q.   What would that responsibility entail to make that an
     9        effective statement?
    10        A.  It would entail them reexamining the formulations of
    11        their foods, reexamining the pricing policies of their
    12        foods, looking at their menu items and availability and
    13        their promotions of their various foods through
    14        advertising, and so forth.
    15
    16   Q.   A quote on the third page of the internal pages:  "To help
    17        all our customers to eat healthily, we are constantly
    18        making our menu even more nutritious".  What does that
    19        imply to you?
    20        A.  It implies that they are making efforts, but I would
    21        still comment that they probably have quite a way to go.
    22
    23   MR. RAMPTON:  I wonder if the witness has a copy of this
    24        document because Mr. Morris's selective reading of this is
    25        distorting the -----
    26
    27   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Are you familiar with it?
    28
    29   THE WITNESS:  I have not seen it.
    30
    31   MR. RAMPTON:  Let me pass up mine.
    32
    33   MS. STEEL:   That version is slightly different.
    34
    35   MR. RAMPTON:  But the words Mr. Morris has read are identical.
    36
    37   MS. STEEL:   But there are some sentences that are different in
    38        that one to this one. (Handed).
    39
    40   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  I am going to have to do without one because
    41        I do not want to hold matters up while ------
    42
    43   MS. STEEL:  You could have this one which is the same as that
    44        one but different to that one.
    45
    46   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Why do you not use the one which we have
    47        other copies of?
    48
    49   MR. MORRIS:  I think the one that Mr. Rampton has not been
    50        disclosed yet, so I do not know where that came from. 
    51 
    52   MR. RAMPTON:  It is the same as Ms. Steel's, Mr. Morris. 
    53
    54   MS. STEEL:   Neither of them are in the Nutrition bundle.
    55
    56   MR. MORRIS:  Anyway, to get down to an important matter, I just
    57        want to read that phrase out again.
    58
    59   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Where are you now on it?
