Bingo!!
I had just opened a PrimalPac when I saw this contest. I love them. They are my go-to snack when I am out of the house. I used PrimalPacs on my trip to a vegetarian retreat in Oregon this summer (contraband!). Now I need to think of a great subject title for MDA.
Primal school lunches
The Primal Passport: How to eat Primal in (foreign country).
The idea would be to highlight the various kinds of foods and dishes that other cultures/countries/cuisines are famous for, that are naturally Primal or could be Primal with few adjustments.
You know, I’m betting there are enough international readers here on MDA that this would make a great series of guest-posts!
Love this idea! As a world traveler, I would love to know what Primal eats one could find in countries that are known for their high-carb cuisines (e.g. Italy, China, Japan, Thailand, India)
This would be a great Primal Contest (with a prize that could be sent internationally)!!

I think birth control pills make girls go a bit crazy.
How about:
I am primal.

I eat more/less of

In other words how do I balance myself by tweaking my primal diet and other habits.
We could and should make this into a pamphlet or book.

Top 10 BPA-Reducing Hacks You Didn’t Think Of
Nudging to Nourishment
-Basically 3 to 5 steps/ideas (most bang for your buck) of how to bait and hook someone into going primal =)
My version of this is typically telling someone to try cutting all grains for a week or cutting all sugar for a week.
Grok on ________
-A series of articles on how the body responds to different food/drink. I think women’s health (or some other womens fitness mag my wife reads) has a similar concept telling what happens to your body 30 seconds in, 5 min, 30 min, etc
Again not eligible, but here’s one I really want to see:
“Primal/Paleo: Fad vs Fiction!”
There are a lot of variations on the paleo theme at the moment and ‘everybody’ is trying to get in on the act with some twist on the basic paleo diet. What’s real and what’s hogwash? (It may not be good to be scathing about somebody else at this stage, seeing as the community is very small and everybody knows everybody else [even though that doesn't stop some people], but there are a few extreme ideas, e.g. cooking temperature and speed for meat)
Please please yes! It does seem like a lot of people are claiming that paleo can mean whatever you want it to- and while I appreciate the sentiment of wanting to appeal to everyone I also think it is getting harder to sift through to find the ideal. Not having the time or willpower or money to stick to it 100 percent is something nobody should have to apologize for- but it would be REALLY nice to know what paleo/primal means anymore since everyone is saying different things right now. This would be a fantastic and timely article!
