The bar chart illustrates the proportion of people who consumed five servings of fruit and vegetables daily in the UK over 8 years, from the year 2001 and 2008.
Overall, women far exceed men and children in the percentage of food consumptions per day over the period given, with the least number applies to the category of children. Furthermore, the trends are similar in both men and women, while children are slightly different.
The figures indicate that women consumed the highest number of food at the beginning of the period at just over 20%, exceeding men by approximately 5%. Furthermore, the proportion of adults increased steadily throughout the period until it peaked in 2006 by about a third for females and around 28% for males. However, women decline slightly to about 30%, whereas men stayed relatively stable in the last two years.
In regards to children, the figures show a low of just above 10 percent in 2001 and remained relatively stable in the next two years. However, in 2004, the proportion of minors increased by about 5% and continues to do so until it reached a peak in 2007 at just above a quarter before it slightly declines at the end of the period.
