67772, Cultural Differences

Post by Digit »

Re: Question #67772, one detail comes to mind. I like how the vast majority of countries outside the US use kilojoules for the energy content in nutrition data. Not only is the calorie non-SI, you have Calories and calories which sound the same. Sure, context will distinguish much, but why bother? Use the same definition used for food as for any kind of energy.

It's almost not even worth saying anything about how we aren't metric in the first place.
