Contest: Title Twisters
The Prize:
Nut Butters. Forget peanut butter. Premier Organics makes the good stuff. Their Artisana line includes almond butter, walnut butter, pecan butter, macadamia nut butter, cashew butter, and the singularly wild coconut butter (warm it slightly and it becomes a gooey mouth-spooning indulgence). Winner will receive 10 on the go pouches (one of each variety), and three full jars; one each of almond, macadamia, and coconut butters.
Fermented Vegetable Juice. Yes, you heard right. Zukay, the folks who donated the delightfully tasty salad dressings last year are back with a new brew. Called Kvass (not to be mistaken with the weak and useless bread juice), these are sugarless, tangy juices derived from fermented beets, carrots, and other veggies. Winner will receive a six pack of Veggie Kvass drinks in his or her choice of flavor.
The Contest:
Read all the rules before entering.
Have a topic, subject, or good idea for a blog post on MDA? Now’s your chance to suggest it. In the comments section below, leave a title for a future post on Mark’s Daily Apple.
That’s pretty much it. Tell me what you’d like to see covered on MDA with just the article title, and do it with as much creativity and cleverness as you can. I’ll pick a winner and will use submissions for future MDA article ideas.
The Deadline:
Midnight, tonight!
Who is Eligible:
Because these are consumable/potable, only US residents can win them. In the case of an international winner, a substitute prize will be awarded.

Primal Book Club: What Every Grok Should Read
It could be a BOM (book of the month) column where at the beginning of each month, a new book is highlighted and readers can then post their own reviews in the comments sections.
I like this. I also think we need a monthly or bi-monthly Primal magazine. Every time I’m at the grocery store looking at the racks of magazines with their various lean and low fat recipes and articles I think, we need a magazine for Grok!

You could make people aware of things that restaurants will do to food that people don’t think about, like cook in margarine, and suggest ways to order the most primal meal possible (e.g. Can I have my steak cooked in butter?)

Yeah and how to eat while sick. You know the old saying feed a cold, starve a fever does this actually apply? Could fasting help or make it worse? And when eating what might be optimal?
