X…… long ago, you could say a pound of feathers weighed more, when metals were weighed in troy pounds.
Today, they weigh the same, both are measured in avoirdupois pounds….
but you could say it’s a moot question anyway…cos the Pennys only care about edible pounds.
So which weighs more….. a pound of broccoli or a pound cake?
If the pound cake weighs more, Joy will cut it in half, and cut some more off if necessary,
till it weighs less than the broccoli, so she can eat it instead.
Pure science.
