The line graph displays the amount of fish, lamb, beef, and chicken consumed weekly by an individual in an unnamed European country from 1979 to 2004. Overall, the consumption of fish constantly remained the least whereas the other three experienced extreme fluctuations throughout the decades.
To begin with, people ate fish the least all throughout the 23-year period and remained relatively constant at around 50 grams. In contrast, although lamb was the second most popular at the start of the period with 150 grams, the figure dropped steadily within the next few years before experiencing fluctuations and receding to a little above 50 grams by 2004.
Similarly, chicken and beef largely varied, but the latter saw wilder fluctuations. Despite the variations, the amount of chicken consumed displayed an upward trend, starting from slightly below 150 grams, and ending the period with around 250 grams. On the other hand, beef consumption mainly dropped, from around 240 grams in 1979 to just above a 100 grams by 2004.
