1 If you look at the next paragraph:
2
3 "Yet we already offer healthier options in the
4 restaurants. The recently introduced pizza and bran
5 muffins for example have provided products high in fibre
6 content.".
7
8 You agree with that, do you?
9 A. "Pizza and bran muffins for example provide high
10 fibre", yes, I do.
11
12 Q. And you agree that they are healthier options:
13
14 "Yet we already offer healthier options in the restaurants,
15 the recent introduced pizza and bran muffins for example".
16
17 They are the examples of the healthier options; yes?
18 A. I think they are, yes. They certainly are from a fibre
19 stand point. As I remember the facts, they are higher than
20 anything else we had here before but I cannot remember all
21 the data; I am sorry.
22
23 Q. That is fine. I can move on now. Thank you very much.
24
25 MS. STEEL: Just while we are on that. You consider that it
26 amounts to real progress to reduce the sugar and salt
27 contents of your products. You stand by that, do you?
28 A. I stand by the efforts to try and improve the
29 nutritional content of our food. Lower fats is important
30 and we have done just that.
31
32 Q. Yes, and you think that that is progress?
33 A. Definitely.

38 basically?
39 A. Which?
40
41 Q. On the page that we have just looked at, you stand by
42 everything that is said there; do you?
43 A. I stand by what is on that page, a question of balance,
44 yes.
45
46 Q. OK. Thank you. I just want to ask you: Are you sure the
47 Company had no representatives on any of the Health of the
48 Nation Committees?
49 A. I do not think so.
50
51 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Why do you not suggest one if you think there
52 was one?
53
54 MR. MORRIS: I seem to remember either Jeffrey Cannon or Sue
55 Dibbs was mentioning the fact that McDonald's was on the
56 same committee or something, Fast Food Committee..
57
58 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Mr. Preston cannot help as.
59
60 MR. MORRIS: No, he cannot help. That cuts out a few questions
