Note: we eat or consume food. We do not use food. We use phones and computers. Read my advice to understand the word "rate" You do not use it correctly. Your words "plunge", "enormous" are not objective, neutral mathematical words. They are emotional words. They can be used for Task 2, not Task 1.

The line graph compares how much of three different types of fast food that people in the UK ate on a weekly basis between 1970 and 1990. The three types are hamburger, pizza and fish & chips, and the units are grams per week.

In general, people consumed much more of these fast foods in 1990 (a total of about 1 kilogram/week) than they did in 1970, about 400 grams week. That is more than a doubling of the amounts eaten weekly. People's eating choices changed considerably; in 1970 their favorite fast food was pizza but it was the least favorite in 1990.

In 1970, the amount of pizza consumed per week (300 grams) was more than three times higher than second-place fish & chips (approximately 80) and third-place hamburger (about 30). Between 1970 and 1985, people ate less and less pizza; the amount dropped by about a third, to 200 grams/week. But in the last five years, between 1985 and 1990, it rose slightly, by about 10 grams/week.

The amount of fish & chips people ate increased exponentially over the period, going up by a factor of more than five to end at 500 grams/week in 1990. It surpassed that of pizza between 1980 and 1985 at about 200 grams/week. By the end of the period, 1990, people ate more of this kind of fast food than either pizza or hamburger. The pattern for hamburger was similar to that of fish & chips, but it did not increase as much, ending at just under 300 grams/week. People ate the same amounts of pizza and hamburger per week in 1987, and after that pizza fell into third place.
