Healthy Appetite with Ellie Krieger

Ellie Krieger explodes the myth and stereotype of supermodel-as-airhead, retiring from an extremely successful career with iconic Wilhelmina Cooper to earn degrees at Cornell and Columbia. Charismatic and obviously comfortable before the cameras, Krieger hosts "Healthy Appetite" on the Food Network. On "Healthy Appetite," Krieger advocates nothing advanced, nor does she introduce anything extreme. In fact, of all the cooking and nutrition shows with large audiences, "Healthy Appetite" certainly deserves distinction as the one most in touch with the way American families really live. Krieger specializes in healthy recipes for the real world, and she also offers effective strategies for eating low-calorie nutritious meals in the most challenging situations"”restaurants, at the office, at parties, and on vacation. Not surprisingly, "Healthy Appetite" numbers among First Lady Michelle Obama's favorites; and, in the fall of 2009, Krieger led the list of luminaries who contributed to the first-ever Healthy Kids Fair at the White House. Krieger subsequently testified before the House Committee on Agriculture about nutrition, healthy eating and the growing epidemic of childhood obesity.
