The given line graph depicts the quantity of fish and three types of meat: lamb, beef and chicken that were consumed in a European country between 1979 and 2004.
Overall, downward trends were observed in most categories, especially the consumption of lamp, whereas the consumed chicken experienced a growth. Recording the highest figure in most of the period, chicken remained the dominant consumption, while fish represented the least consumed.
Regarding the decreasing categories, beef constituted the highest amount in the beginning of the period at just over 200 weekly grams per person, prior to significantly dropping to approximately 170 grams per person per week in 1984. Subsequently, this figure slightly recovered, before continuously dropping to just over 100 grams until 2004. Furthermore, the consumption of lamb experienced a noticeable drop from roughly 150 to about 120 grams per person, which then likely remained at this level until 1989. Lastly, it was followed by a dramatic decline to just over 50 grams, but it slightly recovered after that and finished at approximately 70 grams per person in a week. Moreover, fish represented the least consumed in the beginning of the period at just over 50 grams, before slightly declining to around 40 grams per person in a week and remaining unchanged from 1985 onwards.
Concerning the increasing category, chicken started at just under 150 grams per person per week; however, it recorded a considerable growth between 1979 and 1994 and surpassed the consumption of lamb and beef at around 150 grams and 170 grams respectively. This was continuously followed by a significant increase and reached a peak of well over 250 grams in 2004.
