The line graph above demonstrates how fast food consumption among Australian teenagers differs in amount and type from 1975 to 2000. In general, while hamburgers and pizza display similar patterns, fish and chips act differently from others in preference of eating fast food.

As it can be seen from the graph, being eaten 100 times a year, fish and chips used to be the most favorite consumed fast food by the Australian Teenagers in 1975. This was nearly twenty times more than the consumption of hamburgers and pizza at that time. Nevertheless, except for its brief climb from 1980 to 1985, fish and chips consumption gradually continued its 25 years of decline until it finished at just under 40.

In sharp constrat to this, the teenagers steadily increased their consumption of hamburgers and pizza over the years. The number of Pizza eaten by the Australian teenagers followed an upward trend and in the mid 90's it overtook the consumption of fish and chips. After that, it carried on to rise until levelled off from 1995 to 2000. As for hamburgers, its consumption rose steeply throughout the 1970's and 1980's where the difference between the amount of consumed hamburgers was seen most. It lasted at the same level as fish and chips began, at 100 times a year.

In conclusion, even though the consumptions of hamburgers and pizza started far lower than that of fish and chips, they overtook its consumption numbers over time and ended up the period at 100 and just over 80 times a year, respectively.
