An opposite pattern was seen in the fish consumption, which experienced a slightly decline from about 65 gram to below 40 gram in 2004. At the beginning of the period, the consumption of beef was about 220 gram each person a week, this figures also showed a significant decrease to nearly 120 gram between 1984 and 2004 after sharply fluctuating before 1984.There was a similar development in the amount of lamb consumed, which gradually fell from 150 gram to 70 gram per person per week.
