Dear All,
Laura Hahnefeld has made an attempt at anti-metric humour in her
column at http://blogs.phoenixnewtimes.com/bella/2010/01/foodlab_2010_the_kit_of_chemic.php
I replied:
Dear Laura Hahnefeld,
Almost all – 95 % – of the world's citizens plan, prepare, cook, eat,
and enjoy their foods and drinks using the simply designed and easy-to-
use metric system. They do this every day for breakfast, for lunch,
and for dinner.
Only the citizens of the USA – 5 % – have chose to have many different
methods for planning and cooking their meals. This problem is endemic
to the USA but it does not occur anywhere else.
You might like to read Metric Cooking with Confidence that you can
download from http://www.metricationmatters.com/docs/MetricCookingWithConfidence.pdf
or look around second-hand book stores for Lorelle Young's and
Carole Bielefeld's book, 'Hometrics' (1977).
