The graph below shows the consumption of fish and some different kinds of meat in a European country between 1979 and 2004.

The line graph illustrates the average weight of

meat

a person consumes weekly in a particular European country from 1979 to 2004.

Overall

,

while

beef and lamb

consumption

went down during the given period, people consumed more chicken in 2004 than in 1979. It is noteworthy that the

consumption

of fish

meat

has remained essentially unchanged. Beef was the highest consumed type of

meat

at the beginning of the period, with around 220

grams

consumed per week.

This

number

then

fluctuated until 1989 when it fell into decline. Lamb

consumption

similarly

displayed the same downward trend, falling from 150

grams

to its lowest figure of approximately 55

grams

in 2004. Contrarily, chicken

consumption

maintained a steady increase over the years. The first year that chicken

consumption

overtook that of beef was in 1989 to become the largest sort of

meat

consumed in that country. Fish,

however

, showed a minuscule decrease

that is

not worth mentioning. It levelled off between 60 and 40

grams

.
