Given is a line graph comparing and contrasting the discrepancies in the consumption of three various spreads: margarine, butter, low fat & reduced spreads per capita in a particular country over a 21-year period, 1986-2007.
It is clear that low fat & reduced spreads entered the competition between two types of spreads in the middle of the period and became a dominant during the final years. Furthermore, the figure of margarine and butter experienced almost decline trend throughout the period shown.
Turning to the details, initially, the tendency of butter, which was preeminent spread, stood at 160, while the figure for margarine started at 80. As soon as both of them had shown the same indication which was 100 in 1991, margarin’s ratio continued decreasing steadily to roughly 50, whilst the latter one remained stable and obtained dominance.
After low fat & reduced spreads started to take part in rivalry, it witnessed a dramatical growth of 70 and acquired its peak. At that time, a tiny reduction was reported in the consumption of margarine, accounting for 80. As three types of spreads: low fat & reduced spreads, butter, margarine entered their concluding phase, all of them observed falling status, around 70, 50 and 40 accordingly.
