[USMA:43749] Re: USC units spread to the UK - and no-one notices!

[John M. Steele]

It might make an interesting defense if anyone were charged with metric-only 
labeling.  I'm not sure either the charge or the defense has ever occurred.

On the fill, I believe milk falls under FPLA and no one has located a law that 
says it doesn't.  FPLA clearly states it trumps state law.  All the milk I see 
in my supermarket is dual labeled; either unit may be foirst and may be the 
round unit.
