The bar chart illustrates how many percent of men, women, and children in Britain ate five portions of fruit and vegetables daily between 2001 and 2008. The figures are measured in percentage for each year of the period.
As observed, women ate the given amount of fruit and vegetables the most, while the number of children eating the same was the lowest throughout the years. Over the time, the popularity of eating fruit and vegetables decreased, being at its lowest rate in 2001. This year was the one with the least fruit and vegetables eaters. By contrast, 2006 was the year with the largest percentile figures. Commencing from then, the consumption was declining straight until 2008.
According to the column graph, merely nearly 12,5% of the children in England ate the stated amount of portions in 2001. By contrast, the women consumed over 20% more in 2006. Besides that, the figures for all three categories were the closest in the following year 2007, being all at around 25%-30%. Talking about the consumption rates for males, they were stable at 13% during 2001 – 2003. Later on, they smudged up to about 27% in 2006 and started dropping by 2% in 2008.
