     1        A.  I think it is a cup.
 
     2   MS. STEEL:  On this document that we have in front of us, the
              chart, but going to the page before that, about the
     3        dietary guidelines for Americans recommended by the US
              Department of Agriculture and the Department of Health,
     4        Human Services?
              A.  Yes.
     5
         Q.   You said you thought that was helpful advice and quite
     6        explicit, I think?
              A.  Well, let me just consult this copy.
     7
         MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Page 64 of our bundle.
     8        A.  I have a poor photocopy.  I am just looking at the
              original.  Yes, that is right.  These are the US dietary
     9        guidelines published in 1990, and you have to remember
              that they were directed at people in the United States of
    10        America.
 
    MS. STEEL:   The amount of detail that is there is quite
              considerably more than the detail that appeared in that
    12        advertising series.  I appreciate that this is a later
              guideline but, no doubt, the original US guidelines had
    13        further advice in them as well?
              A.  Well, I do not have the advertising material in front
    14        of me.
 
    15   Q.   It is on page 103 of bundle VI.
 
    16   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Do you mean the Time one?
 
    17   MS. STEEL:   Yes.
              A.  Yes.
    18
         Q.   "More about your balanced diet".  It is about five to six
    19        pages.
              A.  "More about your balanced diet and McDonald's good
    20        food".
 
    Q.   There are seven keys to building a good diet.
              A.  Yes.
    22
         Q.   There is not very much detail there, is there?
    23        A.  Well, it gives the key guidelines, does it not?
 
    24   Q.   To somebody who did not really know much about nutrition
              that would not help them that much, would it?  It is not
    25        as explicit, for example, as "choose lean meat, fish,
              poultry without skin and low fat dairy products and use 
    26        fats and oils sparingly"? 
              A.  No, that would follow. 
    27
         Q.   It is not as explicit as the point on sodium; it is not as
    28        explicit as:  "Many Americans eat more salt and sodium
              than they need.  For some people high blood pressure can
    29        be associated with high dietary sodium along with other
              factors"?
    30        A.  Yes, again I think it is also important to look at the
              rest of that advertisement, because it goes on to explain
