The graph depicts the amount of poutine and french fries eaten from 1990 to 2010 in Canada.
Overall, both trends showed an upward tendency. Poutine used to be less popular among consumers with a lower initial rate; however, it experienced a significant rise and in 2010 ended up in a leading position. French fries had a better starting point, but the growth they experienced could not match poutine’s.
In 1990, poutine consumption stood at roughly 75 grams a week per person. From 1990 to 2000, poutine steadily rose to nearly 150 grams and surpassed french fries. Then in the span of 10 years, poutine had a rapid incline and peaked in 2010 at around 350 grams.
Meanwhile, french fries started at about 110 grams and in the next 10 years had a slight incline to almost 145 grams. Between 2000 and 2010, the trajectory of the french fries graph looked similar to poutine’s; however, with less intensity, also reaching a peak in 2010 at around 300 grams.
