The graph demonstrates the intake of fish and various types of meat in a European nation from 1979 to 2004.
Overall, it is noticeable that the figure for chicken consumed in this country saw a significant upward trend, making it the most popular of the four types of meat in the 25-year period, whereas both figures for beef and lamb witnessed a downward trend throughout the entire period. On the other hand, fish consumption remained the least popular in this country.
In 1979, the data revealed that beef consumption per capita was highest, at approximately 220 grams, followed by the lower figure for both chicken and lamb, at 150 grams. However, the intake of fish was lowest and had no significant changes during the period shown.
In 1984, beef consumption peaked at 240 grams and from that point onward, it experienced a sharp decline to roughly 100 grams by 2004. Similarly, lamb consumption gradually decreased to somewhere in the vicinity of 50 grams. In contrast, the figure for chicken witnessed a steady increase, surpassing beef in the late 1980s and reaching a peak of approximately 250 grams in 2004. Fish was the least popular meat, with figures consistently under 50 grams per capita each year.
