NorskSudThe EU should use Joules not calories
Pommes_für_dein_BalgEvery packaging in the EU already includes kilojoules as unit for energy content of food.
You can’t force influencers to use them, you can only force companies and government bodies.
And in some cases, using metric would simply be worse in daily life.
Like using Kelvin instead of Celcius, meters per second instead of kilometers per hour, seconds in general instead of hours and days…
Fun fact: The fuel consumption of a car that needs 10 litres / 100 km (24 miles per gallon) could be simplified to 0.1mm^2^ .
Is it metric? Yes. Is it practical? Not really.

Celsius is basically the same as Kelvin, it just puts 0 in a different place.
See Wikipedia:
By definition, the Celsius scale (symbol °C) and the Kelvin scale have the same magnitude; that is, a rise of 1 K is equal to a rise of 1 °C and vice versa, and any temperature in degrees Celsius can be converted to kelvin by adding 273.15.[1][5]
Most people that know what Kelvin is also know that is the same scale as Celsius, but that doesn’t mean its equally is convenient in everyday use.
The single best thing about the Celsius scale (and pretty mich the only thing that makes it better than Fahrenheit except of familiarity) is that 0°C is placed at the most impactful Temperature point for normal people.
