Overall, it is clear that margarine consumption fluctuated, and the most significant change was observed in the consumption of butter that declined gradually, while the low-fat and reduced spreads had a dramatic growth.
At the beginning of the period, butter consumption stood at approximately 145 grams, after which it experienced a slight increase to 159 grams by 1986. It then underwent a gradual decline, reaching 50 grams in 2007.
In contrast, the consumption level of reduced spreads started at around 10 grams and showed a different trend. By 2001, it had climbed considerably to 85 grams, and finally ended at approximately 75 grams by 2007. The margarine consumption fluctuated over the years, starting at 90 grams and declining to 80 grams by 1985, and then rising until 1995. In 2001, it saw a dramatic plunge, which continued until 2007
