The given line graph illustrates the amount of meat consumed per capita across four certain nations, namely the USA, the UK, India, and Brazil between 1985 and 2019.
Overview, throughout the 34-year period, all the four countries witnessed an upward trend in the per capita meat consumption. Notably, meat consumption in the USA consistently remained the highest over the period, whereas the figure for India was the lowest among four countries.
By 1985, Americans consumed the highest amount of meat per capita among the four countries, at approximately 90 kilograms. This was closely followed by the UK and Brazil, at around 75 kilograms and just below 60 kilograms, respectively. Finally, Indian people showed the least preference for meat, at only about 18 kilograms per person.
In the following years, the per capita meat consumption in the USA significantly rose to exactly 140 kilograms in 2009, and stabilized at this level until 2014 before slightly falling to around 135 kilograms by the end of the period. Similarly but to a lesser extent, the figure for the UK gradually increased to around 110 kilograms by 2019. Meat consumption in Brazil also climbed substantially, surpassing the UK in 2005 and peaked at about 130 kilograms, nearly matching the figure for the USA. Despite consistently increasing to 40 kilograms in 2019, the meat consumption in India still remained the lowest figure throughout the period.
