Under the Weight of It All

As you go through your day, pay attention to how many times you either weigh something or rely on someone else to weigh something. If you go to a fancy coffee shop, the barista will weigh the coffee beans before making your order. When you pump gas, the gas pump will have been calibrated to deliver the proper weight of gasoline into your vehicle. Maybe you weigh your produce before buying at the supermarket, and maybe your butcher weighs some chicken before selling it to you. Weighing and scales are so integral to our society, and yet, most people do not know much about them. This website seeks to change that.
