The chart below shows the amount of money per week spent on fast foods in Britain. The graph shows the trends in consumption of fast foods. Write a report for a university lecturer describing the information shown below.

The bar chart illustrates how much money was spent on three types of junk food by three independent groups, depending on their

income

levels in the UK in 1990 and the line graph shows the trend in spending on these types of fast food in the 20-year period from 1970 to 1990.

Overall

, it is readily apparent that individuals with a high

income

spent the most on

hamburgers

,

while

those with a low

income

on

fish

and

chips

. Other than that,

hamburgers

had become the most popular item to eat among all people by the end of the period.

To begin

with,

hamburgers

were the most popular among high-

income

and average-

income

individuals,

although

the latter spent slightly less on it, with about 45 and 35 pence respectively.

Moreover

, despite spending far less money on fast foods,

fish

and

chips

clearly appealed more to the low-

income

group. Turning to the

pizza

, it was one of the least popular items in all figures.

In other words

, all people with all

income

levels spent less than 20 pence for

pizza

per week. Shifting to the second chart, it can be seen that in 1970,

pizza

and hamburger consumption stood at approximately 50 and 100 grammes consecutively,

while

that of

fish

and

chips

was 300 grammes which was about 3 times as high.

However

, over the following 10 years,

this

gap closed as

hamburgers

and

pizza

consumption climbed noticeably, overtaking that of

fish

and

chips

in 1982 and 1988 respectively.

At the end

of the period,

hamburgers

reached the highest consumption of over 500 grammes.
