The bar chart illustrates the percentage of UK population eating five portions of fruit and vegetables per day from 2001 to 2008. Overall, all categories have been eating healthier throughout the timeframe and unfortunately been consuming unhealthier between 2006 and 2008.
By the beginning of the period, women recorded the highest percentage at roughly 21%, men followed at approximately 17%. While children reported the smallest proportion at about 12%. These percentages kept the same upward trend during the two-thirds of the time-period, demonstrating the engagement of British population in having an equal diet.
By 2006, these percentages grown considerably, as more than 30% of overall UK women had a well balanced food diet, men followed at approximately 27%. Finally, the number of Uk children consuming five portions of fruit and vegetables seen a notable rise, as 24% of them had a healthy regime. However, these proportions dropped consistently by 2008, as unfortunately 30% of total British women ate healthy, mens’ percentage also fell with 2%n as well as children did with the approximately same number. These downward shifts can reflect on the reliance of people on fast foods and freezing products, as they taste better and are easier to cook.
