The table above presents data regarding the weekly consumption of milk and butter and their high and low fat alternatives in different age groups in one European country. The age groups are divided into 4 categories; below 25, 25 to 44, 45 to 64 and above 65.
It is indicated in the table above that as people age, they start to consume more milk and less butter. Furthermore, we are able to identify from the data points above that the older demographic are more consicious of the fat content of their milk and butter, with an average of roughly 70% of them choosing the low fat alternative. On the other hand, the table indicates that the younger demographic are less concerned with the fat content of their milk and butter, as there seems to be indifference in choosing between the low fat alternative and the high fat alternative as shown by the even split between the two.
Thus, we are able to conclude that health concerns and awareness for daily consumption increases with age. People tend to become more concious of their health when their bodies start reacting negatively to a bad diet, hence the reason why the older demographic prefers the low fat alternative to the normal or even high alternative.
