The given graph illustrates the amount of food consumed by Chinese people over a 25-year period, from 1985 to 2010.
Overall, while fish consumption secured the leading position, meat remained the lowest through the period. Furthermore, fish and meat consumption experienced an upward trend, in contrast to salt, which witnessed an opposite tendency.
In 1985, 600 grams per week were consumed per Chinese person, the figure increased slightly to 700 grams and dipped back to 600 grams before rising gradually to around 850 grams per person per week at the end of the period. Meat started at precisely 100 grams per person per week, which grew steadily to 200 grams in 2010, ranking the lowest position. In contrast, although approximately 500 grams of salt were consumed per Chinese person per week, the number declined significantly until reaching 200 grams, equal to that of meat in the same year, in 2010.
