Have you ever made butter?  I mean sat down and put whipping cream in
a jar and agitated it enough to make butter?  I did that with the
kids I work with just last week.  2 tbsp of whipping cream did *not*
make 2 tbsp of butter.  It made only 1 tbsp of butter, if that, and
left about 1 tbsp of watery *milk*.  Ilya's analogy stands up better
than yours does, in my humble opinion.  But you are right, eating one
pound of ice cream or butter is not the same as eating one pound of
the milk because the components have been changed in processing.
That does not mean that you are actually eating the equivalent of 21
pounds of milk to one pound of butter.
