     1        A.  On the whole, it would be valuable to know why any
              particular course of action is being recommended, yes.
     2
         Q.   In its instore nutritional leaflet, does McDonald's
     3        anywhere mention the links between a diet high -- between
              diet and heart disease, for example?
     4        A.  I would have to look at those.
 
     5   Q.   Shall we look at the nutrition guide?
 
     6   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Do you have to put it to this witness or can
              we just look and read it ourselves?  If there is something
     7        which you must put to the witness, then I understand.  But
              if it is something which I can just read for myself and
     8        you can comment on, then there is no advantage in getting
              Professor Wheelock's answer to it.
     9
         MS. STEEL:   OK.  I am not sure where that leads me.
    10
         MR. JUSTICE BELL:  If you tell me the point you are aiming at,
         then I may be able to form a view on whether it is
              productive to ask Professor Wheelock about it.
    12
         MS. STEEL:   No.
    13
         MR. JUSTICE BELL:  It is common sense that it is only right to
    14        give at least a balanced picture.  Maybe you cannot give
              the whole picture in that you cannot cross every last T
    15        and dot every I, but you have to give a balanced picture.
              That I would understand.  The next thing you might ask me
    16        to do in due course is to look at a particular document
              and suggest to me that that does not give a balanced
    17        picture.  It has missed some vital ingredient out.  But we
              have been through quite a lot of that and I do not think
    18        Professor Wheelock is going to help my decision on it.
 
    19   MS. STEEL:   OK.  I can just bring that up myself, yes?
 
    20   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.  Take it up in argument later or with
              any witness of your own, if you wish.
    21
         MS. STEEL:   Okay.
    22
         MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Let me ask you.  What do you think you have
    23        to cover with Professor Wheelock now?
 
    24   MS. STEEL:   There is not masses left.
 
    25   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Pick another topic and we will do that and
              then we will have our break. 
    26 
         MS. STEEL:   I am just trying to see what I can fit in before 
    27        lunch.  There are a couple of points I missed out.
              Physical bulk of food helps to control appetite, does it
    28        not?
              A.  Yes, fair comment.
    29
         Q.   And a concentrated form of energy such as fat would have a
    30        lower bulk?
              A.  It would indeed.
