There is a research about the consumption of fast foods and the expenditure per week in Britain which is reflected in the two diagrams above.
The chart shows the expenditure based on different income groups. For the high income group, people spend mostly on hamburger with around 43 pence per week per person. They spend much less in Fish and chips, or pizza with approximately 15 pence per week. Next, for the average income group, hamburger is also the most favourite food for which people spend more than 30 pence per week, followed by fish and chips at 24 pence, then pizza at 11 pence. According to the study, low income earners spend less than people from the other two groups do. Surprisingly, fish and chips are favoured most with the expenditure of slightly more than 15 pence per week compared to fast foods. They spend a bit less for hamburger than for fish and chips at around 14 pence per week. Finally, they spend roughly 7 pence per week for pizza.
The trends in consumption of fast foods are reflected in the second graph. As can be seen, there is a fast growing trend in the consumption of hamburger, and fish and chips. Pizza was consumed most in 1970 but the consumption declined from 1970 to 1985, followed by a small increase in 1990. Fish and chips were always consumed more than hamburger was. During the period from 1970 to 1990, the discrepancy in the consumption between fish and chips, and hamburger kept growing faster.
