The two pie charts illustrate four types of food consumption in the world and that of China and India in the year 2008.
Overall, processed food constituted the largest share of the world’s population’s diet, and nuts and seeds consumption in China and India was considerably larger than that in the world.
According to the diagram, the consumption of processed meals was notably high, taking up roughly two-fifths of the total food intake globally. This trend was also predominant in China and India, with the figures being 34% and 39%, respectively. In terms of vegetables and fruits, this type of food made up 23% of the food consumed by the Indian population and 29% by the world population, whereas the figure for the Chinese population was a little higher, at 32%.
In addition, while animal food made up only 15% of China’s total food supply, people in India and around the world consumed nearly twice as much. Notably, nuts and seeds had only minor consumption in India and in the world, representing 11% and 4%, respectively. However, these items accounted for about a fifth of the food consumed by the Chinese population.
