     2   Q.  Or was it other than for breakfast, for lunch or for the
     3        main evening meal?
     4
     5   MS. STEEL:   I think the questions are on page 27.  They may
     6        help.
     7        A.  They asked the respondent:  Would you say whether it
     8        is for a meal or a snack?  And "snack" was to be defined
     9        as food eaten between a meal.
    10
    11   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Thank you.
    12
    13   MR. MORRIS:  In fact, those figures, 6.8 and 2.5 for the once a
    14        day, whether it was a snack or a meal, would mean that 9.3
    15        per cent of those who ate hamburgers ----
    16        A.  Yes.
    17
    18   Q.  - at some time ----?
    19        A.  -- would eat them once a day.
    20
    21   Q.  - were eating them once a day; only 12.7 per cent never ate
    22        hamburgers.  So it is really 9.3 per cent of 87.3 per cent
    23        that were interviewed?
    24        A.  Yes.
    25
    26   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  No.  Is it not 9.3 per cent of those who
    27        were questioned ----
    28        A.  About the consumption of hamburgers, yes.
    29
    30   Q.   -- about, who were asked about hamburgers, 12.7, for
    31        instance, said they never had them either as a meal or a
    32        snack?
    33        A.  Exactly.
    34
    35   Q.   But a total of 9.3 said once a day, whether it be as a
    36        meal or a snack?
    37        A.  Correct, that is my understanding.
    38
    39   Q.   Is that what it means?
    40        A.  Yes.
    41
    42   MR. MORRIS:  So, really it is 9.3 per cent of the whole sample
    43        that were interviewed ate hamburgers every day?
    44
    45   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  That comes to the same thing, in fact, does
    46        it not?
    47
    48   THE WITNESS:  It should do.
    49
    50   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  That is right, is it not? 
    51        A.  Yes, that is my understanding of it also. 
    52 
    53   MS. STEEL:   Have you finished with that table?
    54        A.  Yes.
    55
    56   Q.   Do you want to go on to the figures on the following page?
    57        A.  For page 19, I hope it is fairly clear, 36 per cent of
    58        those coming out of, for example, Kentucky Fried Chicken
    59        said they were eating fastfood every day; 32 per cent of
    60        those coming out of McDonald's said they were eating
