The graph below shows the consumption of fish and some different kinds of meats 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 graph illustrates the quantity of

fish

and a variety of meat, namely

chicken

,

beef

, and

lamb

, (which was) consumed in a country in Europe over a quarter of a century starting from 1979.

Overall

, the

amount

of

chicken

ingested witnessed an upward trend,

whereas

a reverse pattern could be observed in the data on

beef

,

fish

, and

lamb

over the years shown.

In addition

, the

amount

of

fish

intake stayed at the lowest rank during the surveyed period. In 1979, the

amount

of

beef

eaten weekly was highest, at over 200

grams

per person. The figures for

chicken

and

lamb

were lower, at around 140

grams

and exactly 150

grams

.

Fish

consumption,

however

, accounted for the lowest value/ number among the four types of food, at roughly 60

grams

. After reaching a peak of approximately 240

grams

in 1984,

beef

ingestion experienced a gradual fall to somewhere in the vicinity of 100

grams

in 2004.

Similarly

, there was a fluctuating decline in the data on

lamb

of 100

grams

to a low of 50

grams

in the final year,

while

that of

fish

stayed relatively unchanged at a hover of about 50

grams

until 1994, and

then

it slightly dropped to about 40

grams

at the same time.

By contrast

, the period from 1979 to 2004 saw a fluctuating increase in the

amount

of

chicken

ingested to a high of roughly 250

grams
