The graph shows the changes in the demand for butter, margarine, and low-fat & reduced spreads between 1981 and 2001.
It is immediately apparent that there was a significant demand for butter with high gram consumption. However, it saw a spectacular fall. The low-fat & reduced spreads were the lowest category, but they showed a substantial increase.
The striking feature of the graph was that in 1981, butter demand was steadily high, at approximately 141 grams. However, from 1986 to 2001, it showed a spectacular fall to around 50 grams. Furthermore, the second-highest figure was margarine, with around 90 grams. However, it slightly declined in 1986 to 80, followed by a small increase in 1991 to 100. In contrast, margarine and butter were at the same level in 1991 with 100 grams. In the next years, it remained steady from 1991 to 1996, and then decreased to 40 in 2001.
The low-fat & reduced spreads were the smallest and lowest figure in 1981. However, this situation did not last long; at the beginning of 1996, it was only 10 grams. However, it increased sharply in 2001 to 81, and became the highest.
