1 that is a very significant difference, is it not, in the
2 amount of cheese per person per day?
3 A. Yes.
4
5 Q. Then if you look at, let us skip milk for the moment. We
6 have more milk than the Germans and slightly less than the
7 French, and go to butter. It is a another ready source of
8 saturated fat and calories too, is it not?
9 A. Yes.
10
11 Q. This is grams per person today. The United Kingdom, we are
12 about 14 grams per person per day. The Germans are 20 and
13 the French are in excess of 20, maybe 23 or so. Again that
14 is a very significant difference between United Kingdom and
15 France, is it not?
16 A. Somewhat a bit of a difference, yes.
17
18 Q. If you look at the left-hand columns, first of all, please.
19 Meat, not right over the page but still under the same,
20 these blocks of small columns. Under meat, and this is in
21 grams per person per day and this includes poultry. Have
22 you got it?
23 A. Yes.
24
25 Q. The United Kingdom comes out at about 200 grams per person
26 per day, the Germans at just under 300, and the French just
27 on or just over 300. In other words, about 100 grams of
28 meat per person per day more than we eat in this country;
29 is that right?
30 A. Yes.
31
32 Q. It is only right you should also notice that "vegetables
33 and fruit box", which is the second one down on the
34 left-hand side?
35 A. Right.
36
37 Q. Where we eat only about 380, would you say, grams per
38 person per day?
39 A. Yes.
40
41 Q. Whereas both the Germans and the French eat rather more
42 than that, perhaps significantly more at about 500 or a
43 little less or more; is that right?
44 A. Yes.
45
46 Q. Then if you look at the middle column, figure C1, yes?
47 A. You said C1?
48
49 Q. Yes. It is in the middle of the page. I have moved away
50 from those little columns and I am moving to ----

52 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Just to the left of the one you have just
53 been looking at at the top. This one, Professor Campbell?
54 A. OK, I see.
55
56 MR. RAMPTON: This is expressed as percentage of food energy
57 from fat. That is total fat?
58 A. Yes.

60 Q. Denmark and The Netherlands at the top. They are both well
