The bar chart below presents data on the percentage of residents who ate portions of fruits and vegetables five times per day in the UK in the period between 2001 and 2008.
Overall, women ate significantly higher amount of portions per day. By contrast, men recorded considerable increase with children following the positive tendency. Additionaly, children stood at lower positions throughout the period.
It is evident to say that the percentage of eaten portions by women climbed gradually, in early beginning of the twenty’s century, compared to both men and children, which remained stable, at figures around 15% and 10% respectively. Subsequently, the average percentage of portions among female inhabitants rose steadily, reaching their peak at more than 30% in 2006. Therefore, this confirms women position as the sex with the highest figures in the UK.
Meanwhile, the other group of citizens remained stable at innitial positian with children documenting the lowest numbers throughout the period, at roughly 10%, whereas men’s figures were slightly higher, by about 5% from 2001 to 2003. Afterwards, men and children experienced a slight decline during the last years of the period.
