The bar chart illustrates the proportion of people who consumed five servings of fruits and vegetables separated into three categories in the UK from 2001 and 2008.
Overall, it can be observed that women had the upper hand over the other two categories in the consumers all through the period.
According to the chart, in 2001, the rate of women who had these five portions regularly stood at the top, with around 22%. Men stood on the second, followed by children, with a gap of almost 5%. The proportion of these two sections maintained for the next couple of years (12. 5 and 17. 5 respectively), whereas women's rate increased steadily to reach over 30 by 2005.
An astronomical growth is revealed in the rate of men and children who ate these servings between 2004 and 2006, which was from 20 to almost 27 in the case of the former group, and from 17. 5 to 23 in the case of the latter.
A drop was seen in women's percentage who ate these portions from a maximum of 35 to 30% between 2006 and 2008. The trend was similar for the other two categories, but the rate of decline was comparatively less.
