and we expect the same experience this year. >> from 6:00 p.m. to when? >> it'll be all night long. it's a big event. we see families turn out. we see brothers and sisters kind of reuniting in our stores. so we try to meet their needs. >> other than high volume shopping and what they does to your bottom line, is it a time at thanksgiving to in a sense to test out to be able to see if you can penetrate the online mark >> well, the online components really important to us. we've been investing to years to build out our capabilities. celebration of a great store experience and a great digital experience. bring those together during the holidays is critically important. >> how important has cyber monday become with this new initiative? it is part to what it's meant. >> it's a big event. and taking a different approach this year. we've combined both a store

extra 10% off of whatever you're purchasing. if they can find you at a target store, they get an extra 10% off and you'll have some identification you're the guy! do you agree to this? >> i think it's a great idea. >> find brian cornell! >> it was free! >> we should get a tight shot of brian's face so people know this is what he looks like! that is great! >> he'll be at a number of stores. >> i will be on thanksgiving day. >> thanks to you and your employees. >> if your thanksgiving meal, is it a recipe for health problems? dr. david agus is in the toyota green room to explain how turkey with all of the trimmings and dessert and drink may all affect your body. our resident cartoonist liza o'donnell is here. she recently drew all of this. it's all ahead of the big day tomorrow.

for 12 weeks. certain patients... ...can be cured with just 8 weeks of harvoni. harvoni is a simple treatment regimen that's been prescribed to more than a quarter of a million patients. tell your doctor if you've had a liver transplant, other liver or kidney problems, hiv, or any other medical conditions, and about all the medicines you take including herbal supplements. taking amiodarone with harvoni may cause a serious slowing of your heart rate. common side effects of harvoni may include tiredness, headache and weakness. i am ready to put hep c behind me. i am ready to be cured. are you ready?

? ? as we prepare to chow down this thanksgiving, we are taking

and drinks and the trimmings. a typical holiday meal could top 4,500 calories! that is more than twice the average daily recommended total. the dinner could contain nearly 3 1/2 times the suggested fat and equals to three sticks of butter. our dr. david agus joins us to tell us about this downer. i think this is a thing of beauty. you're saying think about this before you indulge. >> david? >> so the science of overeating is pretty wild. something that makes u.s. hungry and leptin saying we are full. we eat more because of that. but that science is important because what happens is as your stomach gets sxanexpanded assit the stomach and it could push up and you can get acid reflux and indigestion and that is what you feel.

>> a quarter of all that would be okay? >> yeah. i'm not here to say how much you should eat, charlie. >> how big is your stomach? >> your stomach is four cups. when you eat more and more your stomach gets expanded and the key is at some point to stop. within two hours of a meal, thanksgiving, 400% increase of heart attacks. you shunt blood elsewhere to the body and tt restricts blood to the heart. >> you can't pick it up early which is to say fasting. laying off -- >> or saving room. >> yeah. no saving room. >> no. >> don't eat on wednesday so you can eat on thursday. >> a myth that doesn't work. eat breakfast. drink water before you eat and plan activity and running around at thanksgiving. don't do within an hour or two

the average meal takes an hour or two to be degraded in your stomach. when you're eating a large meal you're talking five, six hours. when you exercise after that it shunts blood from your stomach and why you get nauseous. >> if you eat half of that, is that okay? what is so wrong with one day indulging? when you think about it. >> listen. the big scheme of things nothing is wrong as long as it's not too much. if you look at the data, our lowest weight in the country is in october. at thanksgiving, there is a rise in weight until around january 1. then it takes five months on average for the country to get back to where they started! so if you practice a little bit of moderation these five weeks it will pay off significantly in the long run. >> what about if you eat half of that? >> we are looking for half! >> you have this half and you have this half.

you get sleepy after eating so much turkey. there is more of it in cheese -- >> david agus, thank you. >> thank you. >> you want to get diverted this holiday weekend? who doesn't? the overnight plane trouble that left passengers stuck on this snowy tarmac. you're watching "cbs this

listerine? kills 99% of bad breath germs for a 100% fresh mouth. feeling 100% means you feel bold enough to... ...assist a magician... ...or dance. listerine?. bring out the bold? i love my shop, but my back pain was making it hard to sleep and open up on time. then i found aleve pm. the only one to combine a safe sleep aid plus the 12 hour pain relieving strength of aleve. now i'm back.
