I've always been bothered by the consumption pattern of the "Hungry Caterpillar." He eats things of different sizes and caloric value. The 1 red apple on the first day always seemed similar in size/calories to the 4 strawberries he ate on the 4th day and yet the arc of the story is that he's eating "more" each day.

I got frustrated enough I decided to research the calories in each item and graph them. Details under the graph.

* 1 red apple: 80
* 2 pears: 170
* 3 plums: 225
* 4 strawberries: 40
* 5 oranges: 430
* Saturday: 2400 calories
* Slice of cake: 190
* Ice cream and cone: 160
* Pickle: 145
* Wedge of swiss cheese (4 ounces): 424
