What is a calorie?
#049
This week, Melissa and Jam question the whole system of food. Or rather, the way we calculate food: calories. What are they? Where'd the come from? How are they calculated? Is it a good system for measuring food? What does it actually measure? Can we calculate calories in food at home? Let's dig in.
We're proud to partner with MEL Science. Check out their home chemistry experiment sets here: bit.ly/melchem
