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.

    Joules is the correct and accurate unit. Calories are used out of habit despite being a less optimal unit not endorsed by science. So it’s weird to be called a redneck for stating that.

    PS: and no, this is not imported from the US where no one has ever heard of joules. Joules are however commonly used in some countries already, so there’s hope.
