david_reinstein comments on Plant-based alternatives’ market share and taste-comparability: Mature enough to justify studying substitution patterns, price-responses, and welfare implications?

Thank you.

The scaling feels really strange when a value 6-7 % shows as a ~70% piece of the total

I should put a clear ‘break indicator’ on the x-axis, perhaps? Atm the comparisons only make sense within graph. Or what would you suggest? Wouldn’t want to use up most of the page space for an ‘empty’ part of the graphing.

Group A: 0---> ______________________________________________________________________|

Group B: 0 -----------> _____________________________________________________________|

… would seem to waste space

I was thinking maybe something like this − 1 extra bar with full scale and guiding lines capturing the proportion:
10 %
Scale: 0--------|______________________________________________________________________|

Or even just a down-open horizontal curly bracket (“top curly bracket”) above the charts:
