Is that because the "Consumables ingested" on the right side looks like Pac-Man eating the other two categories?

  The pie chart on the left double counts everything. The total is represented as a slice in the pie chart.

    Probably a case of automatically converting an Excel column into a pie chart.

      That's what came to mind. And they simply selected a pie chart instead of a bar chart, and it wasn't super wrong because they were trying to show subcomponents of a larger value. Meh. Not worth the HN thread. It's like picking apart why someone wrote code in a suboptimal/messy way when in reality they just wanted to get something done under a constraint, and the author would totally agree if they were here to defend themselves. Yet here are people saying the author can never be taken seriously because of it.
