The similar changes, but to a much lesser extent, was seen in the figures for fish, declining slightly throughout the 25 years period and ending at precisely 50 grams in 2004.
Roughly 210 grams of beef was eaten per capita per week in 1979, with a subsequent fluctuation 10 years later and a final decline from approximately 195 to about 125 grams in 2004. The figure for chicken saw an opposite trend, rising sharply from shy of 150 in 1979 to around 235 grams in 1994, before reaching the peak at about 250 grams at the end of the period.
