I've always wondered, why a gallon of milk costs more than a gallon of gasoline. The oil comes form the other side of the planet, whereas the cow is standing in a pasture down the road. The oil is refined in a highly dangerous and technical operation whereas milk is just pasturized and homogenized, but its still milk.............

Do you have any idea whatsoever what it takes to feed and maintain a dairy cow? No, I didn't think so.

Maybe because an oil well can give millions of barrels of oil while a cow can only give a gallon or two at a time? Cows consume feed, oil wells need only be drilled?
