If your resolution was to save money...

From ESPN.com's Gregg Easterbrook:

So $100 Buys Either 400 McNuggets or 295 McNuggets: At my local McDonald's, four chicken McNuggets are $1 and 10 are $3.39. Thus, 12 McNuggets cost less than 10! Meanwhile, the Quarter Pounder with cheese costs $2.89 and contains 510 calories; the double cheeseburger costs $1 and contains 410 calories. Both have about the same content of fat (bad) and protein (good). Nutritionally, you're better off with the cheaper product! Fast food question: NFL Network has Wendy's as a lead sponsor and lends Rich Eisen to that incomprehensible Wendy's bacon-burger commercial. But the NFL itself has Burger King as a lead sponsor. Isn't this more than a tad odd?
