We are removing those pesky calories (Courtesy of Ed Roberts)

Did You Know? - In the International System of Units, energy is measured in joules (J) or its multiples; the kilojoule (kJ) is most often used for food-related quantities.

An older metric system unit of energy, still widely used in food-related contexts, is the calorie; more precisely, the "food calorie", "large calorie" or kilocalorie (kcal or Cal), equal to 4.184 kilojoules. (It should not be confused with the "small calorie" (cal) that is often used in chemistry and physics, equal to 1/1000 of a food calorie.)

Within the European Union, both the kilocalorie ("kcal") and kilojoule ("kJ") appear on nutrition labels.

In many countries, only one of the units is displayed; in the US and Canada the unit is spelled out as "calorie" or "Calorie".

Sound: Body and Soul

" Body and Soul" was written in New York City for the British actress and singer Gertrude Lawrence, who introduced it to London audiences. Published in England, it was first performed in the U.S. by Libby Holman in the 1930 Broadway revue Three's a Crowd.

Louis Armstrong was the first jazz musician to record "Body and Soul".

The tune grew quickly in popularity, and by the end of 1930 at least eleven groups had recorded it.
