The line graph illustrates the number of gallons of whole milk and low-fat milk consumed per capita in the United States from 1970 to 2015.
Overall, whole milk was the most consumed at the beginning. However, because of its dramatic decline, in contrast to low-fat milk, by the end of 2015, low-fat milk became the most consumed. Furthermore, there was an intersection where both types of milk were equally consumed in 1990 (about 14 gallons).
In 1970, there was a huge difference between whole milk and low-fat milk consumption. While the consumption of whole milk per capita was approximately 25 gallons, low-fat milk consumption was about 7 gallons. Regarding whole milk, it dramatically dropped to about 6 gallons in 2015. On the other hand, for low-fat milk, it started at about 6 gallons and gradually increased to a stable number at approximately 14 gallons during 1990-2010. In addition, it ended up at around 13 gallons in 2015.
