The bar graph shows the proportion of people who ate five servings of fruits and vegetables daily in the UK from 2001 to 2008.
Overall, there was a higher percentage of women consuming five portions of food every day compared to men, and children had the lowest portion out of the three.
From 2001 to 2004, the percentages of males and children who feasted on five quantities of crops every day remained steady for the first three years, at 13% and 17%, respectively. Over the next four years, they gradually rose, going from 17% for children and 20% for men in 2004, to 26% for children and 27% for men in 2007. In the next year, the children’s ratio fell to around 24% in 2008, while the men’s ratio fell just slightly, to 26%.
The percentage of females throughout the first five years, however, rose steadily from 22% in 2001 to reaching 30% in 2005. In 2006, the proportion spiked up to 35% at peak, which later noticeably slumped down to 32% in 2007 and 30% in 2008.
