The line chart illustrates the percentages of meat and poultry consumed in the USA in the period from1955 to 2012.
The most outstanding feature in this chart is that there was a significant upward trend in the broilers used whereas the consumption of beef and pork slightly edged down throughout the period.
As can be seen from the chart, in 1955 beef was recorded to be the type of meat which was used most, at just below 60 pounds per capita. This could be followed by the amount of pork, ranking in second place with half pounds per capita. By contrast, as with broilers, Turkey was not consumed in the first 5 years of the period. In the following 15 years, the number of used beef soared to reach the peak of hefty 90 pounds per capita. Likewise, starting at tiny 5 pounds and 15 pounds per boneless, the consumption of both broilers and turkey experienced a slight increase to nearly 10 pounds and about 15 pounds per boneless respectively. In the last 32-year period, while the number of using beef dramatically declined to finish at only 50 pounds, the number of broilers consumed was reported to plummet during the period to the end at almost the same percentages as beef. Conversely, both pork and Turkey fluctuated wildly in the given timescale at 45 pounds per capita and 10 pounds per boneless.
