1
Q. It certainly is not to everyone's taste, diet cola, is it?
2 A. What I do know is that the demand for it is increasing
quite steadily. I believe that somewhere there is a
3 projection which indicates that eventually diet cola will
exceed the demand for regular cola.
4
MS. STEEL: Do you think, another example, fruit cocktail and
5 low fat yoghurt for pudding is likely, or do you think
children will want Angel Delight and ice cream and jelly?
6 A. I mean anything is possible.
7 Q. But what is more likely?
A. Again it depends on the circumstances.
8
Q. I also notice that there are no sweets included in this
9 chart, are there?

11 may well have done.
12 MR. RAMPTON: Your Lordship will see what is called a Regular
Sprite, which is another of these sweet, fizzy drinks on
13 the second page. There is also a Regular Fanta in meal 5,

20 A. Yes, you are quite correct; there will be some fat in
Mars Bars.
21
MR. MORRIS: If we look at appendix 1, 1.1 just for that day, I
22 do not want to look at it in detail?
A. Page number?
23
Q. Page 2.
24
MR. JUSTICE BELL: 99C.
25 A. Yes.
26 MR. MORRIS: It starts with All Bran and semiskimmed milk.
A. Yes.
27
Q. Mr. Wheelock, what is the purpose of these charts? Is it
28 to show what children do eat, in general, or is it to show
what they should eat in order to balance their diet?
29 A. The object is to demonstrate that it is perfectly
possible to construct a diet which meets the dietary
30 recommendations, with one exception and that relates to
salt, which again we have already discussed. But it
