     1        As long as the information is in there somewhere, you can
              reserve it until later.  You do not have to take it up
     2        with Professor Wheelock and you do not have to argue with
              him in cross-examination as to whether the statement he
     3        has just made is justifiable or not.
 
     4   MR. MORRIS:  Maybe just to point out one particular point:
              Say, in the middle of that chart, for the 16 year old
     5        male, the only dinner which is a McDonald's, if you like,
              a standard McDonald's meal, which is the McLean Delux
     6        medium french fries, side salad, that is the only dinner
              in this weekly chart I can see.  There are also a couple
     7        of dinners at lunch time, but McLean Delux was not brought
              in in the States until 1991?
     8        A.  No.  This is the annual report for 1990, as
              I understand it.
     9
         Q.   Printed in 1991?
    10        A.  Yes, but presumably it refers to data collected during
              1990.
    11
         MR. JUSTICE BELL:  If it be the report for 1990 it should not
    12        include events which occurred, or would not normally
              include events which occurred ----
    13        A.  That would be my understanding, anyway.
 
    14   MR. MORRIS:  If we refer to -- I am not sure where it was put
              in the end, the McDonald's Nutritional Initiative.
    15
         MR. RAMPTON:  My Lord, we can save time. On the McDonald's
    16        Nutritional Initiatives it says: "1991 revolutionised the
              industry with the introduction of Mclean Delux sandwich".
    17        I do not know if that is the same thing or not.
 
    18   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  That looks like 1991.
 
    19   MR. RAMPTON:  This may be, some parts at least, a predictive
              document, that page.
    20
         MR. JUSTICE BELL:  What I suggest you do, if you are concerned
    21        about when something was brought in for the first
              time  ---
    22
         MR. MORRIS:  Yes.
    23
         MR. JUSTICE BELL:  -- if you can find the answer in a document
    24        which is here, well and good.  Make a note of what the
              reference is and you can refer me to it.  If you do not
    25        think it is there, make a list of the items and see if
              those who act for the plaintiffs will fill in the dates 
    26        for you.  I cannot say what their response will be, but 
              have a try. 
    27
         MR. MORRIS: I will basically submit, to save time because,
    28        realistically speaking, I am not going to go through every
              item -- I have done that -- but, as an example, that is
    29        quite a dramatic change in 1991, especially as saturated
              fat is at the centre of the case in many respects.  That
    30        is clearly a 1991 change, which is not actually relevant
              to the UK at all, because it is not in this country.  I
