This supplied line graph delineates the consumption of potatoes, pasta and the rice in a particular European country over a 30-year period from 1976 to 2006. Units are measured in grams per person.
Looking form an overall perspective, it can be clearly observed that all 3 patterns witnessed different trends over a given time frame. However, pasta experienced a dramatic upward trend, whilst the potatoes fell significantly.
Plausible as this seems, in 1976 the potatoes managed to be eaten far more higher that the pasta. To be more precise, it exhibited just over 400 grams. Meanwhile, the exact opposite scenario was noticed in the case of pasta, which was the least popular amidst Europeans. However, the pasta consumption climbed progressively until it overtook the potatoes by 1986. Surprisingly, they both showed the identical to one another 400 grams in 1986. The pasta, then, continued rising moderately before remaining steady from 1986 to 2006. It culminated at 500 grams, which was the highest percentage amongst others. In sharp contrast to this, the potatoes after touching its highest fraction of roughly 450 grams, saw a noteworthy descending trend until 2006.
To be continued with, the rice comprised the exact 300 grams in 1976. It declined gradually until 1991. Although, starting from 1991, it witnessed a tedious upward tendency by reaching a little more than 200 grams.
