After a thrilling final cook-off at ABC Studios in Times Square,
Aetna (NYSE: AET) announced Merry Graham as the winner of The Aetna
Healthy Food Fight. Graham’s winning dish of Black Bean and
Sweet Potato Porridge with Jicama Pico de Gallo helped her win the
grand prize of $10,000 worth of groceries from Recipe.com.
“I am truly honored to win The Aetna Healthy Food Fight,” said
Graham. “From beginning this contest by submitting my recipe to
cooking for Bobby Flay in the finale, I have had an amazing
experience.”
While Graham was crowned as the winner of The Aetna Healthy Food
Fight contest, Mary Edwards was recognized as the ‘fan favorite.”
Edwards received more than 6,800 votes through The Healthy Food
Fight website, and as a result, will be able to donate $10,000 to
the nonprofit organization GrowingGreat.
“While it would have been great to win the overall contest, I am
thrilled to be named the fan favorite,” said Edwards. “This
donation can have a huge impact on GrowingGreat as they emphasize
the importance of healthy cooking and eating.”
"We are so grateful for Aetna, Mary Edwards and the thousands of
fans that made this grant possible," said Sarah Gelb, GrowingGreat
Executive Director. "This grant will go a long way, inspiring
more kids to adopt healthy eating habits through
