Dear Joe,

I came across a reference to food energy in an Australian government dietary
guide today.

It contained the quotation:

"The unit of energy used in dietary computations is the kilojoule (kJ) which
officially replaced the kilocalorie in 1977."

I thought that the shift from kilocalories to kilojoules took place much
earlier than this. Can you advise me on this, please?

Cheers,
