With all this banter about calories, let’s just go ahead and stop kicking this poor dead horse. The word itself should be taboo by now. We humans just love to dig deeper down irrelevant rabbit holes. And why wouldn’t we with all the research around calories?!! The articles are so bright, shiny, and sprinkled with large words such as “thermodynamics”, “specific heat capacity”, and “joules”? Hell, even Wikipedia spices it up a bit by finessing in some Latin with the use of “Calor”. (That means “Heat” for all of us non-research oriented simple folk) So, if our early scientists had any sense of fashion, we could very well be discussing “Joule-orie” count. But I digress
