You are confusing facts with measurements of facts. Uranium has a lot of chemical energy, just like food. Yes it's different and not edible, but this is a flaw in the human body, don't blame uranium for it

Uranium has nuclear energy.

But if we are gonna count that when discussing food, then every atom has a shitton of energy.

Uranium just happens to be easy to split, hence we can actually use the nuclear energy.

But if you could split the atoms of bread, that's gona release unimagineable amounts of energy, too.
