The graph below shows the consumption of fish and some different kinds of meat in a European country between 1979 and 2004

The line graph illustrates the usage of various types of meat in a country in Europe from 1979 to 2004

Overall

, the consumption of chicken grew significantly,

while

that of beef and lamb decreased dramatically over the years. The amount of fish which is used by a person in a week did not change a lot.

Firstly

, beef was eaten more at the beginning of the period with over two hundred

grams

. Around 1894, it peaked at roughly 250

grams

.

However

,

as a result

of a fluctuation, the number dropped to around a hundred

grams

in 2004.

Likewise

, people ate lamb nearly 150

grams

a week in 1979 and

this

was its peak point. Over time the figure went down and stopped above 50

at the end

of the given period.

Although

chicken was not the most consumed kind of meat

first,

people used more and more chicken as the years passed. The number was just under 150 in 1979, but it soared to over 250 in the final year.
