The line graph illustrates the consumption of fast food by Australian teenagers between 1975 and 2000, specifying three different types of fast food: pizza, fish and chips, and hamburgers. Units are measured in the number of times eaten per year.
Overall, it is clearly seen that the consumption of fish and chips declined significantly over the years. In contrast, the consumption of pizza and hamburgers surged rapidly, with one of them becoming a major type of fast food eaten in the second half of the period.
The consumption of fish and chips started at its peak of 100 times eaten in 1975, then dropped to 85 by 1980. Between 1980 and 1985, it experienced a slight surge to 93, almost reaching its peak again. However, the consumption of fish and chips continued to dip quickly, as shown in the graph, until 2000.
On the other hand, the consumption of pizza and hamburgers did not encounter any drops. They both started at their lowest, with only 5 and 10 times in 1975. Among 1975 and 1995, the consumption of hamburgers and pizza experienced a rapid and slight increase to 100 and 83, respectively. By the end of the period, they stabilized at the same points.
