The provided line graph illustrates the amount of eating consumption per person in Australia from 1950 to 2010 regarding five different nutrients. Overall, there was a moderate increase among nearly all food categories, with the exception of meat, which experienced a downward trend, and seafood, which almost remained unchanged over the period.
The trend for vegetables widely fluctuated and drastically soared from 140 kg to 160 kg within the years 1950 and 2010. Following this, there was a considerable growth in the consumption of fruit, going from 80 kg to 140 kg. Furthermore, bread hit its all-time peak in 1970 with approximately 70 kg and then decreased to 60 kg until 2010.
On the other hand, meat saw a slight decrease of just under 100 kg in 1960 and almost flattened until 1980, with the exception of a small hill in 1970. In 1990, a steep decrease in the consumption of meat was evident, reaching almost the same rate as vegetables, at close to 120 kg. However, until 2010, it went down significantly to 28 kg, whereas Seafod remained stable throughout the full period with the exception of a small dip in 1960.
