Joule is the metric system unit to measure the energy in food, however we still see calories being used everywhere, specially advertising and fitness influencers. Let’s stop this nonsense.

Which is particurlaly funny given that it was abolished when the metric system was created. During the revolution, we decided we would have decimal time instead of those ancient babylonian units. It was reverted a few years later, but the metric system was originally designed for having 100k seconds per day
