     2   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  We have to have our five minute break.  If
              you want to talk about something, we will have it now.
     3
         MS. STEEL:   Thank you.

                                 (Short adjournment)
     5
         MS. STEEL:   Do you think it is sensible to encourage people to
     6        eat more food that is high in fat, saturated fat, sodium
              and sugar and low in fibre?
     7        A.  I think we have to be careful about that.
 
     8   Q.   What do you mean?
              A.  Well, I think it is important that people do
     9        understand what the dietary recommendations are and how
              those dietary recommendations can be achieved.  At the end
    10        of the day they will decide for themselves what they are
              going to eat.
    11
         Q.   But do you think it is sensible to encourage people to eat
    12        those things?
              A.  How do you mean, is it sensible to encourage people to
    13        eat those things?
 
    14   Q.   From a nutritional point of view, is it sensible to
              encourage people to eat things that are high in fat,
    15        saturated fat, sodium, sugar and low in fibre?
              A.  From the point of view of the individual, I think it
    16        is important that they should know which foods are high in
              saturated fat, which foods are high in salt.  They should
    17        also know which foods are low in vitamin B12, which foods
              are low in vitamin C and all the rest of it.  At the end
    18        of the day, they have to make up their own mind how they
              are going to put a diet together, bearing in mind all the
    19        other factors that everybody has to do in deciding what
              they are going to eat.
    20
         Q.   They have to make up their mind, but do you think it is
         sensible to encourage them to eat those things?
              A.  No.
    22
         Q.   You do not?
    23        A.  No.
 
    24   Q.   On the third of your statements again, you were referring
              to our witnesses and you are saying that the impression
    25        given by our  -----
              A.  Whereabouts are we now?  Can you give me the 
    26        reference? 
  
    27   Q.   Well, it is tab 6.
 
    28   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  When you refer to "the third", the third one
              which I have is Comments on the Statement by Dr. Eric
    29        Millstone.
 
    30   MS. STEEL:   No, it is not that one.
