The given line graph illustrates the amount of fish and various types of meat consumed in a European nation over the 25-year period from 1979 to 2004.
Overall, it is evident that the quantity of beef, fish and lamb meat consumption witnessed a downward trend, whereas a reverse pattern can be observed in the figure for chicken meat ingestion.
In 1979, the amount of beef consumed started at about 220 grams after which it topped out at around 240 grams in 1984. Subsequently, its figure dropped significantly over the next years by plummeting to its lowest point at 100 grams shortly before 2004. Conversely, there was an increasing interest in consuming chicken meat which can be seen in the figure for the amount of chicken meat ingested. The figure experienced a fluctuating rise which surpassed the consumption of beef in 1989 and increased to approximately 250 grams in 2004, becoming the highest figure among the types of meat over the examined period.
Precisely 150 grams was the documented amount of consumed lamb in 1979 which gradually fell to somewhere in the vicinity of 60 grams in 2004. Although people’s interests in consuming fish meat stayed sustainably over the timeframe, it still showed a marginal decrease from over 50 grams in 1979 to below 50 grams in 2004, making it the least consumption among the various types of meat throughout the examined period.
