    The mix of metric and fantasy units is quite infuriating

      On the face of it, yeah. But since we are talking about a ratio of nutrient to body weight, there’s no inherent benefit besides ideological purity to using the same units for both sides of the ratio.

      In the states, nutritional info is universally listed in grams, and bodyweight is most commonly measured in pounds, so in that context g/lb is a perfectly logical way to describe recommended intake levels.

        no. it’s just annoying that weirdos think that using an antiquated unit system on an international medium is fine.
