The consumption of meat started at 110 kg per person, which had dropped to just less than 100 kg by 1960. Until 1980, meat intake remained almost the same. From 1980 to 1990, consumption increased to a peak of 120 kg, from which it significantly dropped to 80 kg by the year 2010. In the case of fruit, with little ups and downs in the past few decades, the intake skyrocketed to 140 by the year 2010.
