The provided chart illustrates the comparison between men, women, and children who are accustomed to eating five portions of a well-balanced diet, namely fruits and vegetables, daily in the United Kingdom between 2001 and 2008.
At a glance, it is clear that the dominant position remained the same during the entire period for females, whereas children were at the lowest point, according to this chart. The percentage of males in the country was in the middle of the other two from the beginning until the end. All three categories showed the highest point in 2006 and the lowest in 2001.
Regarding the starting year, the difference between the categories was sharp. Respectively, twice as many women ate exactly five portions of fruits and vegetables as children, which comprised approximately 20% and 10% respectively. In contrast, men accounted for 15% by outnumbering children in 2001.
In 2008, there were some gradual changes compared to the starting point. The number of females increased steadily by just around 30%. Similarly, the percentage of men gradually rose and reached over 25% at the end of the period. Children who ate healthy food numbered to almost a quarter.
