The bar chart illustrates the percentage of British people eating five portions of fruits and vegetables on a daily basis over a 8-year span, commencing in 2001.
Overall, it is obvious that the figures for all groups witnessed an ascending trend. Strikingly, the consumption of women topped the chart across the timeframe.
Regarding females, the data for them started at over 20% and claimed the first rank at the beginning of the given period. From 2002, there was a moderate increase registered in the consumption of women and reached its highest point of roughly 25% before declining to 30% in the final surveyed year, which was still far higher than others.
Turning to males and children, the percentages of both groups remained relatively steady in the first three years, with just under 20% of men and over 10% of children. Notably, although surpassed by children in the consumption rate between 2004 and 2005, the statistics for men returned to the second position of around 25% and that for children was a bit lower, standing at 23% by 2008.
