The given pie charts provide a comparative analysis of the average food consumption for two Asian countries – India and China – over different kinds of food, including processed food, nuts and seeds, animal food, and vegetables & fruits, by comparing to global consumption.
Overall, what stands out in the charts is that although processed food is consumed most in two countries, these figures is under the global consumption. Notably, in both countries, animal food and nuts and seeds together make up a significant proportion, which is equal to the figure for processed food in both countries.
In China, a large amount of food consumed is processed food, at 35%, closely followed by vegetables and fruits, at 32%. In contrast, nuts and seeds represents a relatively small segment, accounting for 19%, standing above animal food, with 15%. On the other hand, people living in India consumed mainly processed food as well, comprising approximately two fifths of total consumption. Animal foods and vegetables & fruits are nearly equal, each accounting for 27% and 23%, respectively. Although the most consumed food is nuts and seeds, at 11%, this figures is by far high than the global value (4%).
