The chart demonstrates the proportion of teenagers restraining themselves from eating meat in the United Kingdom between the years 1960 and 2020.
Overall, there is a noticeable increase, with the most noteworthy points being the fall off in the mid-eighties and some fluctuations going forward in the 1990s.
To start off, in the first twenty years there is visible, but most importantly stable, growth, jumping to about 15% and reaching its peak in the year 1980. Afterwards, however, a sudden plummet takes place, the figures dropping down to slightly more than 5 percent.
In the time between 1990 and 2000, the diagram experiences fluctuation, approximately reaching the bottom of less than five out of a hundred. In the next ten years, the graph goes back to stability, having slow but steady gains and recovering back to somewhere around 10 percent. Then, nearing the end of the line graph, closing in on 2010, the percentages hit a plateau, staying at somewhere between 10 and 15 percent out of all the adolescents in the UK.
