The graph gives information about the proportion of individuals who consumed fruits and vegetables five times in the UK between 2001 and 2008.
Overall, females ate more vegetables and fruits than children and males, though the percentages experienced both growth and decline throughout the period. The proportions of three different people remained at places in the rating, even though the figures increased in 2008 compared to the beginning of the period.
Between 2001 and 2004, the ratings were similar to each other. The consumption of meals constituted just over 10% and slightly under 20% of children’s and men’s rates, respectively. However, the percentage of women gradually rose from over 20% to just under 30%. In 2004, the figures for children almost flattened out with males by reaching around 18% and 20% in turn whereas the women’s rating marginally increased too.
For the remaining years of rating, the proportions showed an upward trend according to three groups of people until women and men reached their highest points in 2006 and children in 2007. Around 35% of females and approximately 28% of males ate vegetables and fruits in 2006. Similarly, children’s results were more than 25% in 2007, while the proportions of men and women plummeted. Finally, 30% of females consumed the mentioned products whereas the figures for males and kids constituted around 25% at the end of the period.
