The line graph presents the weekly consumption of four types of meat (chicken, beef, lamb, and fish) in a European country over a 25-year period from 1979 to 2004.
Overall, beef was the most consumed type of meat in 1979, but by 2004, chicken had become the preferred choice. Throughout the period, fish remained the least consumed item, showing minimal change in consumption levels.
In 1979, beef and lamb were the most popular meats, with beef consumption at approximately 210 grams per person per week and lamb slightly below 150 grams. Over the years, both beef and lamb consumption fluctuated but showed a general decline, reaching their lowest levels in 2004 at around 110 grams for beef and 70 grams for lamb.
Chicken consumption, on the other hand, rose steadily throughout the period. It started at just below 150 grams per person per week in 1979 and peaked at around 250 grams in 2004, making it the most consumed meat by the end of the period. In contrast, fish consumption remained relatively stable, starting at slightly above 50 grams in 1979 and ending at around 50 grams in 2004, indicating little change over the 25 years.
