the graph illustrates changes in the amounts of beef, lamb, chicken and fish consumed in a particular European country between 1979 and 2004.in 1979, the beef was the most widely consumed meat in these foods , OR: beef was the most widely consumed of these foods, with 225 grams eaten, followed the consumption of by chicken and lamb, which stood nearly equally at 150grams. By contrast, the fish consumption was the smallest, only at only 60 grams.
From 1979 to 2004, there was a significant increase of in chicken consumption, from about 140 grams to 250 grams, with the figures bypassing chicken lamb in 1980 at 150 grams and overtaking beef in 1989 at 200 grams. Meanwhile, the amounts of beef, lamb, fish all experienced decreasing trends, with a more rapid dropping in beef and lamb, declining to 100 grams and 60 grams, respectively. At the same time, the quantity of fish dipped far slightly less deeply,OR: the quantity of fish consumed only dipped slightly// "far" means "very", and it would sound strange to say "very slightly" reaching 40 grams in 2004.
Overall, the graph shows that the amount of chicken increased drastically. On the other hand, the consumption of the other foods trended in the opposite direction.
