The line chart illustrates data about the amount of whole milk and low-fat milk consumed by U.S people from 1970 to 2015.
Overall, it is clear that the highest rate of consumption was suitable for whole milk, as opposed to low-fat milk showing the least amount at the beginning. Throughout the period, however, the figure for whole milk consumption dropped dramatically, while the amount of low-fat milk drunk saw moderate increase.
As presented in the graph, it is obvious that the whole milk was the most consumed with 25 gallons per person in the U.S during 1970. Despite peaking at the beginning, the figure for whole milk use decreased rapidly to 20 gallons in 1980. From then on, the same downward trend was observed until 2015 when the quantity of whole milk consumption reached the lowest point at 5 gallons per capita.
Regarding low-fat milk use, it started at 7 gallons in 1970, after which the quantity of consumption rose significantly from 10 gallons in 1980 to 14 gallons in 1990. The figure for low-fat milk consumption, then, remained steady during the next 3 decades and surpassed that for whole milk, reaching 13 gallons per person by 2015.
