I'm much more offended by the ratio being given as 'grams per pound'.
I appreciate the road to metric can be unsettling to the holdouts, but this doesn't feel like a good way to do it.

I'd argue it would be better described as 1 gram protein to 500gm (half a kilo) of body mass. That's actually a ratio, in the sense it can then be written simply as 1:500.
You could translate that to US imperial as the ratio 0.032:16 -- assuming ounces all the way down, of course. Convenient!
Microbloits to the parsec, football fields to the ocean, grams to the pound -- these are all just whacky to most people.
