The line graph provides information on the consumption of different types of meat in a European country over a 26-year period from 1979 to 2004. Overall, the graph shows that while fish was not very popular with fewer people consuming it, the consumption of chicken was on the rise and eventually became the most popular meat. Initially, during the early years of the period, the average person in the country consumed around 220 grams of beef per week. Comparatively, about 70 grams less of chicken were consumed during the same period.
Over the following years, the demand for beef experienced fluctuating changes, decreasing from 1989 until 1992, with a slight increase in consumption observed during that period. On the other hand, the consumption of chicken showed an opposite trend, increasing from 140 grams to 250 grams per person per week. By 2004, chicken had become the most consumed meat. While beef initially had the highest consumption levels in the early years, its figures dropped significantly over time. Fish and lamb, on the other hand, were less popular choices, with the average person consuming 55 grams of fish per week in the beginning, which then decreased to 45 grams by 2004, making it the least consumed meat.
Conversely, lamb consumption started at 150 grams and declined to 60 grams per person per week by the end of the period. This decline in lamb consumption was accompanied by an increase in the demand for chicken
