It's the USDA. They are the organization that DOESN'T require metric net contents on standard weight packages of meat, unlike nearly all other foods, which must be dual, Customary and metric. What do you expect.
Of course, I also blame Congress for writing the bad law that lets them off the hook. ________________________________ From: Pierre Abbat <[email protected]> To: U.S. Metric Association <[email protected]> Sent: Fri, June 24, 2011 12:31:49 AM Subject: [USMA:50729] Re: MyPlate On Thursday 23 June 2011 23:15:01 [email protected] wrote: > <div>Sadly, another Federal site with no SI in sight.</div> > <div><br /></div> > <div>http://www.choosemyplate.gov/myplate/index.aspx<br /></div> > <div><br /></div> This was my comment on the site when I first saw it three weeks ago: The advice on the plate is no better than the previous advice. They recommend lowfat milk instead of raw, removing fat from meat, canned fruit, and microwaving. They make no recommendation to eat organic foods, pasture-raised meat, organs, or whole salt. There is no seaweed group. They persist in obsolete or imprecise measures such as cups of vegetables, ounces, and calories. Thumbs down.
