Hi....Do you ever find it funny that serving sizes are primarily listed in the standard measuring system, but nutrients are listed in the metric? Gotta love America!

    I don't think I've ever seen a product with the serving size listed in standard. It's always millilitres and grams.

    That's because nutrients are sooo small, the American system doesn't have anything to more accurately compete....what is 5mg on and oz scale? How do you get there?


    ETA: Never needed the metric system before I REALLY started My "Journey" NOW I'm pretty proficient at it. Good way to force Americans to change>>>Necessity!

    *grumbles* I'm seriously considering getting a scale.. I never thought I'd own a kitchen scale(I don't even own a weight scale-i use the gym) but some things u just can't find a specific conversion and I'd rather get a scale in the interest of accuracy...
