Overall

, the quantities of all participants remarkably increased;

while

the chunk of women witnessed the most dramatic change, that of men and children shared a similar trend. Looking into details, the proportion of women was dominant at just north of 20% at the start of the course.

This

sum rose gradually for the next 5 years and skyrocketed to a high of 35% in the year 2006, preceding a sharp fall to 30% in 2008. Noticeably, the fraction of women maintained its highest status throughout the entire period.

In contrast

, children consumed the least amount of vegetables and fruits as the percentage of these participants started at a mere 12%.

This

number largely plateaued in the first 3 years, prior to its significant surge in 2004 where it continued to accelerate until reaching a climax of over 25% in 2007 and plummeted to just south of that to end the period.

Similarly

, the rate of men was unvaried at around 17% in the initial 3 years. After a remarkable jump in 2004, it peaked at approximately 26% before

finally

dropping to just above 25%
