Making calories visible

Only a month or two back I recall saying to a friend that what we needed was not calorie counts on food but minutes of exercise counts. Well ...

To burn off the calories in one gingerbread cookie, you will have to swim 18 minutes.
The martini and party mix will take 47 minutes on the bike.
And the fruitcake? Take an 84-minute walk.
... The exercise calculations are for a 155-pound person; add time if you’re lighter, subtract time if you’re heavier.
A half-pound of prime rib will cost you 230 minutes of yoga.
A Starbucks Caramel Macchiato is 38 minutes on the bike — add 81 minutes if you grab a piece of coffee cake.
You’ll have to walk 173 minutes to burn off a Whopper from Burger King.
