The bar chart illustrates the proportion of the UK population that consumed the advised daily intake of fruits and vegetables in 2002, 2006, and 2010.
Overall, what stands out from the bar chart is that there is only one upward trend. As regards the first, the percentage of women in the UK eating the recommended amount of fruit and vegetables stood at 25% in 2002, then the figure peaked at 32% in the first 4 years, before seeing a moderate decrease to 27% by the end of the period.
In 2002, the proportion of males in the UK consuming these foods daily was 22%, compared to 11% of children. After witnessing a moderate increase in 2006, both men and children saw a slight downward trajectory, with men declining to 24% and children dropping to 14% throughout the period.
It is noticeable that the rate of women who ate the recommended amount of foods daily always was the highest in all 3 years, in contrast for children.
