The graph illustrates the percentage of children, men, and women who daily consume five kinds of fruits and vegetables in the UK from 2001 to 2008.
Overall, the number of women consumers consistently remained higher than that of men and children. This trend continues with the proportion of men, which held the second position. Meanwhile, the percentage of child consumers was the lowest throughout the given period.
In terms of women’s consumption percentages, they started from just under 25% in 2001 and experienced gradual growth, peaking at 35% in 2006. After reaching this peak, the percentage dipped to 30% for the remainder of the period, which was similar to the percentage in 2005. Meanwhile, the percentage of men consumers, occupying the second position in the graph, showed a steady trend from 2001 to 2003, hovering at just under 20%. It then rose rapidly between 2004 and 2005, reaching its highest point of just over 25% by 2006 and maintaining that level until 2007. However, this percentage saw a slight decline, remaining just over 25% in 2008.
On the other hand, children’s consumption percentages displayed a similar trend to those of men but started at a different point. In this case, children began with just under 15% and maintained the same proportion from 2001 to 2003. After peaking at just under 25%, the percentage underwent an average decline, settling just under 15% in the final period.
