The line graph describes the changes in the amount of different kinds of meat consumed in a particular country in Europe over a 25-year period (1979-2004). Units are measured in grams per person per week.
From an overall perspective, the consumption of all types of meat fell except for chicken. It is also worth mentioning that initially beef was the most consumed type of meat, but it was later surpassed by chicken. In contrast, fish was by far the least popular meat option for the entirety of the period.
Focusing on beef and chicken first, the former made up 220 grams of weekly intake per person in 1979, which dropped to 180 grams 2 years later. It, however, recovered quickly, reaching its all-time high of just under 250 grams in 1983. Over the years, the figure for beef dropped gradually, hitting a low of around 100 grams in 2004. As for chicken, though it was initially consumed in moderate quantities of about 150 grams, its figure subsequently grew to about 260 grams in 2004, making it the most common type of meat at the end.
Regarding lamb and fish, the weekly consumption of lamb stood at 150 grams in 1979, which had gone down to roughly 70 grams by the end of the period. Being the least favored type of meat, fish intake constituted around 60 grams in 1979, and it had dropped negligibly by about 20 grams by 2004
