The chart illustrates the annual

consumption

rates of three different types of fast food—

hamburgers

,

pizza

, and fried

chicken

—by Mauritian teenagers from 1985 to 2015.

Overall

, the data reveals a substantial decline in

pizza

consumption

over the 40-

year

period,

whereas

the

consumption

of both fried

chicken

and

hamburgers

saw a marked increase, with

hamburgers

eventually surpassing the other two foods. In 1985, teenagers consumed an average of 10

hamburgers

per

year

.

This

number

doubled by 1990, continuing to rise steadily. By 2000, the

consumption

of fried

chicken

surpassed that of the other fast foods, reaching 40 times per

year

. During the same

year

,

pizza

and

hamburgers

were consumed approximately 37 times each. From 2000 to 2015,

pizza

consumption

experienced a sharp decline,

while

hamburgers

and fried

chicken

became increasingly popular. Notably, after 2010, the

number

of

hamburgers

consumed annually exceeded that of fried

chicken

by 70 times per

year

. By the end of the period, the annual

consumption

of

hamburgers

was higher than the

consumption

of

pizza

in 1985. Interestingly, in 2015, the

number

of

hamburgers

consumed per

year

was equivalent to the

number

of pizzas eaten in 1985.
