The provided line chart illustrates how much fish and 3 types of meat were

consumed during a week in a nation in Europe from 1979 to 2004.


As can be seen, the total amount of each type of meat and fish eaten by the
locals witnessed a reduction except for that of chicken throughout the period
shown. Particularly, the figures for chicken and beef intake were the same
around 1988.
It is noticeable that the amount of chicken that a person ate dropped to
approximately 175 grams per week, while that of beef saw a slight growth of
roughly 160 grams during 1982. It was until 1988 that the proportions of
chicken and beef consumed in a week were exactly the same. After that,
consumers reduced their intakes of beef to around 100 grams and increased
the amount of chicken to 250 grams in their weekly meals in 2004.
It is apparent that 60 grams of fish were eaten per week in the first year;
whilst the amount of lamb eaten was nearly 3 times higher than that. During
the period, the statistics of lamb intake in a week fluctuated in a rapid
downward trend to slightly above than 50 grams in the last year. Meanwhile,
the proportion of fish consumption remained quite stable with just around 50
grams per week during each year.
