No one is claiming less than 1 gram. There exist kitchen scales that
do weigh 1/2 grams but I can't see any use for a kitchen scale that
weighs less than 1 gram... actually 5 grams is plenty small enough for
a kitchen scale.
1 ounce = 28.3495231 grams or 1 gram = 1/28.3495231 of an ounce... 1
gram is probably more table salt than the average person sprinkles on
an egg. A gram is avery small amount of any food, one saltine cracker
weighs 3 grams. No one needs a kitchen scale that weighs 1 gram
unless they're a crack dealer.
