The chart illustrates how much fish and some other kinds of meat were consumed in a European nation from 1979 to 2004.
Overall, there was a decrease in the amount of beef, lamb, and fish, while chicken witnessed an increase. Additionally, fish had the lowest consumption rate throughout the period. It is noticeable that the consumption of beef had by far the highest data in the first 10 years, but it was overtaken by chicken in 1994 onwards.
The amount of chicken consumed in a European country started at about 149 grams per person (gpp) per week in 1979, after which it witnessed a significant increase to roughly 250 gpp per week in the final year of the period. Conversely, the figure for fish declined from 51 gpp to 50 gpp per week and maintained this level from 1979 to 1984 onwards.
Approximately 210 grams of beef was used by an average person in the country mentioned in 1979, with a subsequent decrease to over 150 gpp in 1984, and a final fluctuation and drop to around 110 gpp in the final year. Although the consumption of beef had the highest data in the first decade, it was surpassed by chicken in 1989 onwards and dropped to second rank. Similar change can be seen in the use for lamb decreased dramatically from just under 150 gpp to 70 gpp per week from 1979 to at the end of the period.
