The line graph illustrates how many grams of fish and meat were eaten per person per week in a European country from 1979 to 2004.
It is clear that, while beef was the most consumed meat in the first half, chicken overcame it in the second half and remained the highest category until the end of the given period.
In 1979, beef was the most preferred product among the categories, standing at approximately 220 grams consumed per head per week. Meanwhile, the figure for lamb stood quite lower, at just over 150 grams. The indicator for chicken stood about 10 grams lower than that for lamb. Finally, the least consumed, fish only accounted for around 60 grams per person.
In the following years, after some fluctuations until 1986, the rate for beef consumption witnessed a significant downfall to roughly 110 grams per individual. The index for lamb followed a similar trend, decreasing to nearly 130 in 1985, and experiencing minor fluctuations before a resumed downward trend until reaching approximately 60 grams by the end of the period. In contrast, chicken consumption shot up steadily, peaking at almost 250 and staying relatively stable until 2004. Lastly, fish was the least favored product, remaining more or less constant and finishing at about 50 in 2004.
