The graph illustrates the rates in percentage of people who ate fruits and vegetables in the UK from 2001 to 2008. Overall, women depict the highest percentage compared to men and children during the age range. The highest figure is recorded in 2006, whereas the lowest in 2001.
The chart increases steadily, reaching the highest percentage, roughly the 40%, in 2006. Then it declines until 2008, remaining slightly above the 30%. The lowest rate accounts for the 20% in 2001.
Furthermore, the chart distinguishes the rates between women, men and children. For example, in 2003 women’s figures are roughly as twice as men’s and children’s, while in 2007 and 2008 the men’s percentage is just under women’s figures of 30%.
In summary, the chart shows a considerable rise over the years until 2006, and then a decrease until 2008. Moreover, it records a huge gap between men’s and women’s rates, reduced during the years, especially in 2007 and 2008.
