The bar graph illustrates the amount of expense by the earning community of the country United kingdom on prepacked and processed food items mainly focusing on Hamburger, pizza ,fish and chips (units of measurement are missing , year is missing , I would suggest not to replace fast food items with packaged food)
Overall, High consumption of hamburgers is to be noticed at 47% with the High incomed families compared to Average earning people who considerably eat Fish and chips a lot than the former. (Overall should talk about trend, then why it is presented data and figures . There is no reference of low income group, include that too).
Bar graph is about the expenditure not the consumption , whole answer is moving around consuming fast food items. Be careful in analyzing the question
