Day 269 - 25 Jun 96 - Page 28
1
2 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Of what?
3
4 MR. MORRIS: Of useful safe level figures of fat in the diet and
5 saturated fat in particular and then comparisons with
6 McDonald's fat content, which we do not have to go into the
7 calculations of now, but in terms of frequency of eating
8 that diet.
9
10 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Quite frankly, it is too late for this. You
11 have got a, no doubt, carefully drafted extra statement
12 from Professor Crawford which you were required to obtain
13 in order to give notice of the additional evidence which we
14 would give in-chief upon his recall, which I was quite
15 happy that he should do before Mr. Rampton continued his
16 cross-examination, and you must stick to that. We have had
17 a fair amount of evidence on the question you are about to
18 ask Mr. Crawford which I will take into consideration in
19 due course. But I am very anxious that Mr. Crawford's
20 further evidence in-chief, which is what he has been giving
21 now, should be restricted to that which notice has been
22 given in his third statement.
23
24 MR. MORRIS: That is fine.
25
26 MS. STEEL: Is there a copy of the meaning of nutrition around?
27 Do you have a copy?
28 A. Sorry?
29
30 Q. Do you have a copy of the Meaning?
31
32 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Since you were here, I have ruled on what the
33 leaflet actually means in this area of the case.
34
35 MS. STEEL: We did send you a copy, I think?
36 A. You did. I do not know if I have it to hand.
37
38 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Do not worry. Borrow mine, Professor
39 Crawford (Same handed).
40 A. Thank you.
41
42 Q. Yes. Leave the post-it on and borrow mine. That is just
43 one page of the transcript of the ruling I gave and the
44 Meaning is the insert near the top of the page.
45 A. Yes.
46
47 MS. STEEL: Right. The meaning of the leaflet being that
48 McDonald's food is very unhealthy because it is high in
49 fat, sugar, animal product and salt (sodium) and low in
50 fibre, vitamins and minerals and because eating it may well
51 make your diet high in fat, sugar, animal products and salt
52 (sodium) and low in fibre, vitamins and minerals with the
53 very real risk that you will suffer cancer of the breast or
54 bowel with heart disease as a result.
55
56 The part up to there, would you agree with that? I do not
57 meaning agree with that being what the leaflet means, but
58 do you agree with that statement that there is a very real
59 risk that you will suffer cancer of the breast or bowel and
60 heart disease if you have a diet high in fat, sugar animal
