"Last Word"-Post Holiday Meal Workout

SUSIE GHARIB: And finally tonight, while we would never try to dissuade you from savoring your Christmas dinner, we will at least provide a public service by letting you know what you're in for. That one gingerbread cookie will take 18 minutes of swimming to burn off, the fruitcake, 84 minutes of walking. Before you snarf that martini and a handful of Chex mix, plan to spend 47 minutes on your bicycle. Paul, dieticians say this time of year, food is like money. And once you know a food's value in calories, you can decide whether it's splurge worthy.

KANGAS: Warning: never snarf a martini. It's a sipping drink.

GHARIB: So is it splurge worthy?

KANGAS: Oh, yeah.
