The graph below shows the consumption of fish and three kinds of meat from 1979 to 2004

The line graph details how much fish and three kinds of meat were eaten weekly per person over a period of 25 years. It is clear from the graph that the amount of chicken which consumed rose significantly whereas the intake of lamb, beef and fish shared a downward trend during this time. Furthermore, fish was the least commonly used throughout the period shown. In 1979, beef was the most eaten, each person consumed about 220 grams per week and this was even much higher than the amount of chicken (140 grams), lamb (150 grams), and fish (60 grams). Over time people preferred chicken and the consumption kept on increasing and hitting a peak of 250 grams in 2002. From that time to 2004, the average consumption of lamb declined markedly to only 60 grams per week, and similarly, fish consumption was stable during the period, around 50 grams per person per week. In contrast, chicken had overtaken beef to become the most popular kind of food.
