The line chart shows consumption of fish, lamb, beef and chicken in a European country in grams per person per week (G/P/W) from 1979 to 2004.

Fish consumption is 60 G/P/W in 1979, dropping to slightly below 50 G/P/W by 1982 and thereafter fluctuating between 40 G/P/W and 50 G/P/W.

Lamb consumption is 150 G/P/W in 1979, falling to about 65 G/P/W in 2004. However, the fall is not continuous or even. For example, there is a rise from 110 G/P/W in 1985 to 130 G/ P/W in 1987.

Consumption of beef follows a similar pattern to that of lamb. Overall, consumption drops from 220 G/P/W in 1979 to 110 G/P/W in 2004. Again, the fall in consumption is not even or continuous. Consumption falls significantly from 220 G/P/W in 1979 to 175 G/P/W in 1981, then rises dramatically to 240 G/P/W in 1983, remaining relatively steady for the next few years.

Chicken consumption is the only one that has risen, from 140 G/P/W in 1979 to 250 G/P/ W in 2004. The rise is neither continuous nor even. Chicken consumption overtakes lamb consumption in 1980 and beef consumption in the late 80s.

In summary, beef and lamb consumption decrease significantly over the period, fish consumption drops slightly, while chicken consumption rises. Total meat consumption drops from about 570 G/P/W in 1979 to 470 G/P/W in 2004.
