The line graph gives information about the consumption of whole milk and low-fat milk in the US from 1970 to 2015.
Overall, the most noticeable trend is that the use of low-fat milk increased significantly and then remained relatively stable, while the opposite was true for whole milk, which declined continuously over the period.
At the beginning of the period, whole milk was the most popular type, with consumption reaching around 25 gallons per person in 1970. Over the next two decades, its consumption plummeted from 25 gallons to approximately 14 gallons per capita. In contrast, the use of low-fat milk rose significantly, increasing from about 7 gallons to the same level as whole milk by 1990.
From 1990 onwards, the consumption of low-fat milk remained stable at roughly 14 gallons per person before declining slightly to 13 gallons in 2015. Meanwhile, the figure for whole milk continued to fall dramatically, reaching just under 6 gallons per person by the end of the period.
