The graph provides information about four types of food that people in a European country consumped from 1979 to 2004.
Overall, the graph shows that fish was the least used. Also, the expenditure on beef, lamb and fish decreased over the period of 25 years, while there was a fluctuating increase in the figure for chicken.
It can be seen from the graph that in 1979, the amount of beef consumped was the highest, at about 220 grams per person per week. The figures for chicken and lamb were lower, at under 150 grams and precisely 150 grams respectively. However, fish accounted for the lowest number with only approximately 60 grams eaten.
In the period between 1979 and 2004, the country witnessed a significant growth to around 250 grams in the consumption of chicken. By contrast, around 50 grams off lamb compared to about 40 grams of fish in 2004. Although the consumptions of beef reached a peak of around 240 grams in 1983, this fell steadily to just over 100 grams in 2004.
