The graph below shows the consumption of fish and different kinds of meat in a European country between 1979 and 2004. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.
The given line graph illustrates the consumption of fish and various types of meats, including beef, lamb, and chicken, which were consumed in a European nation from 1979 to 2004. From an
overall
perspective, it is evident that
while
the consumption of fowl showed an upward trend over the period supplied, a reverse pattern could be observed in the number of the remaining types of food. In 1979, the amount of beef which was consumed was the highest, at around 220. The figures for lamb and chicken were lower, at exactly 140 and approximately 140, respectively.
However
, fish accounted for the lowest number, at only 60. In the period 1979 and 2004, there was a fluctuating increase in the consumption of chicken to somewhere in the vicinity of 250. After reaching a peak of 240 in 1984, the data on beef fell dramatically to a low of 100 in 2004. The country
also
witnessed a steady decrease in the figure for fish to roughly 50
at the end
of the period shown, and the number was lower than that for lamb, at precisely 60.
