The line chart compares the differences in the amount of foods which the British consumed every week, namely fresh fruit, sugar and ice cream.
Overall, an upward trend in the consumption of fresh fruit and ice cream could be obviously seen over the period of 25 years. In contrast, the amount of sugar which was eaten by people in Great Britain tended to fall down between 1985 and 2010.
Looking at the chart more closely, the figure of fresh fruit that the British consumed started at about 500 grammes per week. Then it gradually reached the highest point of about 750 grammes per week in 2010. Regardless of a slight shift from 1990 to 1995, the amount of fresh fruit that the British used weekly was always greater than that of sugar and ice cream combined.
Following the same pattern, the figure of ice cream rose minimally with the starting point of 40 grammes per week in the early stages. However, it was still the least among the three factors, even when reaching the highest point of 100 grammes per week in 2010 (only one-seventh of fresh fruit at the same time in comparison).
The figure of the consumption of sugar per week dipped notably from 400 grammes per week in 1985 to 100 grammes per week, which was equal to the amount of ice cream in 2010.
