The line graph demonstrates the three types of convenience food consumed by teenagers in Mauritius between 1985 and 2015. These three varieties of food were burgers, pizza, and fried chicken.
Overall, there was a significant increase in the consumption of burgers and pizza over the reporting period, while the number of Mauritius adolescents consuming pizza declined dramatically.
Looking at the details, burgers (10 times) and fried chicken (5 times) were the second last and least favourite convenience food consumed by teens in 1985. However, both the consumption of burgers and fried chicken surged constantly. By 2005, Mauritius adolescents were reported to have eaten fried chicken 60 times annually, where the time of consuming burgers was just 10 times lesser than those who had burgers. Both figures continued to grow, with burgers (70 times per year) being the most favourable convenience food and fried chicken (62 times per year) being the second last favourable fast food in 2015.
Conversely, even though pizza was consumed the most by adolescents in 1985, accounting for 60 times annually, it underwent a downward trajectory throughout the entire period. By 2015, youngsters only consumed pizza 10 times per annum.
