The bar chart illustrates the proportion of UK inhabitants consuming the suggested servings of harvested products on a daily basis in three different years: 2002, 2006 and 2010. In general, British females held the lion’s share in the consumption of these foods with the highest figure, followed by males, whereas children consumed the lowest intake of nutritious food.
Looking at the graph in detail, the period between 2002 and 2006 witnessed an increase of 7% in British ladies’ intake of fruits and greens ( 32% in 2006). However, in four following years, commencing in 2006, the figure for women declined and reached 27% in the last year. Meanwhile, the statistics for children depict a less consistent pattern with only 11% in 2002. The proportion of children showing daily nutrient intake slightly ascended to 16% in 2006 before showing a minor regression of 14% in the final year.
Lastly, the figures for men exhibited a similar pattern as women. From 2002 to 2006, the percentage of male consuming the suggested servings of fruits and vegetables experienced a slight increase from 22% to 28%. In the next 4 years, this statistic was nearly flat.
