Write an analytical paragraph on a survey which shows the calorie source for UK males.
Answers
Answer:
The bar chart shows the different calorific sources of UK males of varying age groups; namely 0-24, 25-49 and those over the age of 50. The sources are dairy, meat, pulses and vegetables.
Between birth and age 24, the main source of calories is dairy products, at over 40% of total intake, with the other sources equal at around 20%, except pulses which represent around 18%. For the 25-49 age group, by far the largest source was meat at exactly 50% of total calorie intake, followed by dairy at 25%, vegetables at 15% and pulses representing just 10%. Regarding the over 50s, the largest contributor were pulses at well over 60%, followed by meat, dairy and vegetables in that order.
Overall it is clear each group leans towards one predominant caloric source over the rest. Pulses are the least favoured choice for the younger groups, and the consumption of both dairy and vegetables decreases with age, with vegetables also making up a minority contribution amongst every age group.
