The bar chart illustrates the relative percentage proportion of women, men and consuming five servings of fruit and vegetables each day for 8 years in the UK from 2001 through to 2018. Overall, it can be seen that women and men predominated in consuming fruits and vegetables, while the percentage of these foods eaten by children consistently accounted for the lowest proportion. Furthermore, a significant increase in the proportion of people eating these items can be seen over the period given.
According to the chart between 2001 and 2003, the number of children and men who ate fruits and vegetables remained stable at moderately over one-fifth for children and men (about 12% and 17% respectively). From 2002 to 2007, children’s consumption of fruit and vegetables continued to increase, reaching a peak value of a quarter in 2007 and then slightly decreased to 24% in 2008.
Looking into more details, women’s consumption rose steadily and reached at 35% the highest percentage over the whole year compared to others, and started at just over 20%. The number of women’s contributions remained constant for the last 3 years. Whereas women’s consumption dropped marginally to 29% in 2008. In general, the bar chart showed relatively small fluctuations in all women, men, and children between 2006 and 2008.
