Pat,
I think you got it wrong. Didn’t you mean megajoules?
Dear Martin,
Thanks for your comment. I will give it some thought in a few weeks –
just after I finish my lunch!
By the way, for food energy amounts, I think that it is better to
stick with kilojoules so that nutritionists and dieticians can
consistently use only one unit in all of their work. The use of
kilojoules – only – provides this at the same time as it ensures that
all measurement, recording, and reporting uses whole numbers of
kilojoules only.
Cheers,
Pat Naughtin
