My answer:

The graph shows that there was a change in the type of fish and meat consumption in a European country between 1979 and 2004.

The figure represents that the chicken consumption was around 150 grams/week in 1979, and then, the consumption of that increased markedly by about 200 grams/week over the period of 1979 to 1989 and then over 250 grams/week in 2004, in contrast to the consumption of beef, there was a rapid decline of that from about 200 grams/week to 100 grams/week between 1989 and 2004, whereas that was fluctuation over the period of 1979 to 1984. On the other hand, the consumption of lamb showed continuously considerable decrease from 150 grams/week in 1979 to 50 grams/week in 2004, as the time the fish consumption remained stagnant by about 50 grams/week every year.

It is clear that the consumption of beef and lamb was the marked decrease every year, but, the chicken consumption increased steadily over the 25-year, while the consumption of fish was stagnant annually.
