4 The visual diagram shows the consumption of the most common foods in America. These foods include: Big Macs, chicken, and hot dogs. By just looking at the visual diagram, I think to myself, that we consume a lot of bad food together as a country. I also suspect that the visual diagram is talking about America because we are the top consumers of fast food. The contributions towards the visual aid are the colors. The different colors help separate the different categories and items from one another. The pictures provide a visual image of what we are consuming while the words and written out amount of total consumption helps provide support for those who need statistic back up. The order of the visual diagram does not really matter because they are just random statistics that all deal with food. The portion of the visual diagram that I did not find beneficial was the repetition of chicken consumption. It would have been more beneficial if the diagram combined the amount of chickens raised per year with the consumption of chickens per second. Then you could add another statistic for another topic in the final slot. I dislike repetition, especially with statistics. I wish to learn something new, something more.

Visual diagrams are able to help explain many things. They say a picture says 1,000 words. Many people in the world are visual learners. Visual diagrams are able to help them with their learning process.
