What a foolish article and more foolish writer. The basis of such a comparision is in correct. All items he (I dont think women wud do such stupid calculations) mentioned are processed to different levels for different uses and hence there is a cost involved for the process. Furthermore, I would like to ask how much is your consumption of all the items mentioned. Do you consume only 1 ltr of petrol and a whole month and consume 1 ltr of kores whitener the same month. Seems you learnt only multiplication. Not analysis of data.
