The line graph illustrates the variations in the consumption of four distinct types of meat – chicken, beef, lamb, and fish – in a European country from 1979 to 2004.
Overall, chicken was the most widely ate meat, while fish had the lowest levels. Beef and lamb displayed relatively stable patterns.
Chicken showed a remarkable increase, beginning at 200 g in 1979 and steadily climbing to around 250 grams in 1995, followed by a sharp upsurge to approximately 350 g by 2004. In contrast, fish remained relatively steady, fluctuating between 50 and 51 g. Beef which started at about 220 g in 1979, witnessed a gradual decrease to about 100 g by 2004.
Likewise, lamb began at 150 g and declined steadily to just under 50 grams in 2004. In conclusion, while chicken and fish exhibited differing patterns, with chicken experiencing significant growth and fish maintaining consistent levels, both beef and lamb showed decreasing trends, albeit with beef demonstrating more fluctuations compared to lamb.
