Contest Results: What Does It Mean to Be a Primal Family?

In past years, you’ve shared pics of your Primal-stocked fridges, of your breakfasts, lunches, dinners and Primal dishes. You’ve shown your groceries (two years in a row) and your best Grok poses. You showed the world what it’s like to forage in a fast food nation. And don’t forget the time Grok was spotted far and wide.

This year I asked you what it means to be a Primal family. Now, this comes as no surprise, but as the pics show, Primal families laugh together, play together, and they stick together. They go barefoot, climb trees, and love the great outdoors. But more importantly they love each other. Many thanks to everyone that submitted a photo for this contest. It’s a real pleasure to see the faces of real-life Groks around the world.

I said the Worker Bees and I will pick a winner by choosing the photo that we think best represents the Primal family life, but any one of these could take home the prize. So I’ve done this by way of random drawing instead.

And the winner is…

Melissa Y.!

Congrats, Melissa. Again, thanks to everyone for participating in this fun contest, and for showing the world how great being a Primal family can be. Grok on!

Contest Poll: 2012 Primal Blueprint Recipe Videos

It’s time for you to decide another winner! At the start of this 21-Day Challenge I put out a call for Primal Blueprint Recipe Videos. MDA readers got right to work. As a result, YouTube has never seen better looking food.

As you might imagine, my crew and I had a tough time narrowing the field. We lost nights of sleep, shed many tears and cursed our duty of having to eliminate so many great videos from the running. And in the end we held a blind vote. To everyone that didn’t make the cut, many thanks from myself and (yes, I’ll take the liberty) the MDA community for your contributions.

Before the vote, a recap of what’s at stake:

The Prize:

A Primal/paleo Cookbook Library including The Primal Blueprint Cookbook, Primal Blueprint Quick & Easy Meals, Make it Paleo, Practical Paleo, Paleo Comfort Foods, Eat Well Feel Good, The Garden of Eating, Everyday Paleo, Everyday Paleo Family Cookbook, Well Fed and Paleo Pals: Jimmy and the Carrot Rocket Ship.

Tropical Traditions Coconut Package – 1 gallon of Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil, a 2.2 lb bag of Organic Coconut Flour, a copy of their Virgin Coconut Oil book, AND a $100 gift certificate to buy anything you want at TropicalTraditions.com.

Pure India Foods Ghee Package – One case (12 jars) of 7.8 oz. jars of Grass-fed Organic Ghee, and one Assorted Sampler Pack containing one 7.8 oz. jar of each of their six Herbal/Spice infused ghee flavors.

Vibram FiveFingers – The winner will get to choose their favorite men’s or women’s style and color.

The Primal Blueprint Platinum Package – The Platinum Package is the ultimate in supplementation and is what thousands of Primal enthusiasts and I take daily. Includes: Damage Control Master Formula, Primal Fuel, Primal Flora, Vital Omegas, and Vitamin D booster.

That’s about $1000 worth of Primal goodies.

Watch the videos below and then make your vote count. This poll will close and a winner will be announced at 4 pm PDT, Wednesday, September 26.
