The bar chart illustrates how much money was spent by three different income groups of British people on fast food each month, while the line graph gives information about the amount of food consumed (Hamburgers, Fish and Chips, Pizza) between 1990 and 2010.
Overall, it is clear that the higher a person’s salary is, the higher their expenditure on fast food is. In terms of fast food consumption, all of the types of dishes were consumed considerably at the end of the period, with the exception of fish and chips consumption figures, which remained as the least popular among customers.
The bar chart shows that people from a high income group spent significantly more money on fast foods 43£, compared to customers from a low income group, who usually dedicate approximately 14£ on fast foods per month. Those from the average salary group spent roughly 33£ on it, which is closer to the expenditure of people with high income.
As for the line graph, although fish and chips were by far the most popular kind of fast food, amounting to over 300 grams in 1990, it then underwent a fall in 2000 and was the least common among customers in 2010 (almost 250 grams). In terms of other types of fast food, although figures for hamburgers and pizzas consumption both started at less than 100 grams in 1990, hamburger consumption then rose and reached its peak of 500 grams in 2010. In contrast, the level of pizza consumption climbed moderately (50 grams as opposed to 300 grams).
