The line graph illustrates changes in the fast food consumption of teenagers in Australia between 1975 and 2000 years. Overall, it can be clearly seen that the quantity of consumed fish and chips decreased over the period of 25 years, whereas the consumption amount of pizza and hamburgers increased.

In the begining of the given period, the most popular fast food was fish and chips among Australian teenagers, being consumed 100 times a year. This was much more than pizza and hamburgers which were eaten nearly 5 times a year. However, the rate of consumed fish and chips fluctuated from 1975 to 1985. Following, the consumption of fish and chips dropped significantly over the 15 years time frame by finishing at just under 40.

On the contrary, the popularity of the other two fast foods augmented significantly in the given period. Pizza consumption climbed gradually until it overtook the consumption of fish and chips in 1990. It then remained stable from 1995 to 2000. The biggest rise was seen in hamburgers consumption which rose sharply from 1975 to 1985. At the end of the 25-year period, the consumption of hamburgers reached the level where fish and chips started and was consumed at 100 times a year.
