The graph below shows the consumption of fish and different kinds of meat in a European country between 1979 and 2004. v. 5
The line graph illustrates the weekly intake of four different types of meat in Europe for a period of 25 years starting from the year 1979. Overall, it can be seen that although there was an increasing trend for the consumption of chicken throughout the period given, the reverse was true for that of beef, lamb and fish. Initially, in the year1979, the Europeans were keener on eating beef than any other types of meat. It was about 220 grammes of beef being consumed every week. The consumption of lamb, chicken and fish were much lower than beef that is approximately 150 grammes for lamb and chicken and only just above 50 grammes of fish in 1979. A similar pattern can be seen from the graph for the intakes of beef, lamb and fish which showed an overall decreasing trend with some fluctuations in between the years. However, the consumption of beef showed a bigger fluctuation from 1979 to 1994 before starting to decline steadily. On the other hand, the consumption of fish had the smallest fluctuations throughout the period. Turning to the consumption of chicken, it had an overall increasing trend which contrasts with others. Even though it was consumed only 150 grammes per week by Europeans in 1979, it reached to just below 250 grammes by 2004 which became the most favourable meat in Europe in 2004. Interestingly, fish remained the least favourite meat throughout the time frame, only about 50 grammes of fish consumed per week.
