The line graph illustrates changes in the consumption of four different types of meat, namely chicken, beef, lamb, and fish, in a European country over a 25-year period from 1979 to 2004.
Overall, chicken was the most commonly consumed meat, while fish had the lowest consumption levels. Beef and lamb exhibited relatively stable trends over the years.
Chicken consumption experienced significant growth, starting at 200 grams in 1979 and steadily increasing to approximately 250 grams by 1995 before sharply rising to around 350 grams by 2004. In contrast, fish consumption remained relatively consistent, fluctuating between 50 and 51 grams. Beef consumption, which began at approximately 220 grams in 1979, saw a gradual decline to about 100 grams in 2004. Similarly, lamb consumption started at around 150 grams and decreased steadily to just under 50 grams in 2004.
In conclusion, the consumption of chicken and fish showed different patterns over the period, with chicken experiencing significant growth and fish maintaining steady levels. Beef and lamb both exhibited declining trends, with beef showing more fluctuations compared to lamb.
