This is true, and I’m all for metric, but this isn’t a question of imperial vs metric. It’s about taking this intentionally obscured data and making it accessible and understandable for people. The food industry lobbied to have it presented in this technical way for a reason.

I guess best would be if every can of soda had a picture of the amount of sugar in it. That may illustrate things nicely and understandably. Most people don't really connect numbers and measurements to reality.

Screw the scientists. They're smart enough to do the unit conversions.

Values for the general public should be in the units the general public uses for those things.

They don't even need to be using more metric measurements, just stop using volume measurement for things that are much better suited for weight measurements.

I agree. Metric makes it much easier to compare things.
