Sounds like the ****ed up the units. 1 "Food" Calories (energy to heat 1kg of water) = 1000 calories.
Usually "Food" calories are with big "C" and the SI standard calories is with little "c".
Some theories on the problem, here:

iOS won't run on the iPhone 6 by the time apps require > 1GB of RAM. The vast majority of apps out now still work on 512MB RAM machines.
I got a feeling its down to security - reason is that health data is protected by IOS and maybe there is a problem in the code that could cause an issue like Heartbleed
Sits back, waits for the beta testers response before pulling the trigger.......
Anyone got this on a wifi only iPad 3 yet, if so how does it run?
Oops wrong thread.

It certainly hasn't been graceful, but it makes sense to hold these things back until they're really ready. They are cornerstones of Apple's services going forward - they need to be right. Releasing them half-baked is 10x worse than what they're doing here.
Lest we forget the Maps launch.
It does? I thought it worked between iPhone and iPad too, without needing a Mac at all. Is that not accurate?
And Cook is still talking about the intro of Maps on Charlie Rose interview Part 1.
So...what's new since iOS7 then? No Healthkit, no extensions, no continuity (because we don't have yosemite yet, + SMS relay delayed), no iCloud drive, still no keyboards on the App Store. I mean, is there anything at all I can play with if I download this release now?

Extensions work.
Keyboards will probably be out today. They likely had to delay their launch until after iOS8 was released.
I agree, but these are major features that were supposed to be ready. Just saying its not Apple's finest hour.
Also iOS 8 makes the iPad air interface feel like its and iPad 2 or something. Stutters all over the place....and yes this is after a week of using it from a clean restore.
3rd party only. No, they haven't said why. MyFitnessPal seems to work just fine for me with HealthKit integration (I snagged it around 8AM CST this morning).
This is a good thing, because we will likely get 8.0.1 much faster than we would have otherwise.
Whew that was a close one, glad they yanked it, can't wait to be seen running around my neighborhood with the 6+ sticking half way out of my fanny pack...
JK. I actually did get the 6+ and really don't feel that my decision making for ios8 hinges on health kit. SMS relay is awesome and I'm sad it won't be there right away but truly that will seem more useful once Yosemite is released and iCloud drive, I'm sure for some that's a bummer but dropbox, copy, and google drive work more than sufficiently for me.
Friday can't come soon enough, I very well might tackle the Fed Ex guy.

Pretty evident...
Botched iPhone 6 release.
Botched iOS 8 release.
Botched iCloud drive release.
Etc...
