The graph below shows the consumption of four types of dairy products in the USA from 1970 to 2010.
The line graph illustrates the amount of cheese, full-fat
ice
cream
, low-fat ice
cream
and yoghurt eaten by each individual annually in the USA between 1970 and 2010. Units are measured in pounds
.
Overall
, the consumption
of cheese and yogurt increased whereas
the amount of full-fat ice
cream
consumed decreased. Interestingly, the consumption
of low-fat ice
cream
remained fairly the same.
Analysing the line graph further
, about 8 pounds
of cheese and 1 pound of yoghurt were consumed by each person
in 1970. The former increased sharply throughout the given period peaking at around 23 pounds
per person
by 2010. The consumption
of the latter, however
, showed a gradual upward trend till 2000, after which it climbed dramatically to approximately 8 pounds
per person
in 2010.
With regard to full-fat ice
cream
, just over 10 pounds
was eaten by each individual in 1970, this
figure over the next four decades depicts a slight downward trend decreasing by approximately 2 pounds
per person
by 2010. On the contrary
, the consumption
of low-fat ice
cream
was just under 5 pounds
per person
each year and it remained the same with minor fluctuations in the given time period.Submitted by Writing8
