For 30 days this month we’re exploring Whole30, the 30-day reset and refocus on whole foods. Whole30 isn’t a diet or a judgment of foods as “good and bad.” It’s actually a short-term reset that has helped many of our readers cook more and figure out the foods that make them feel their best. Read more about our coverage here.

If you’ve been following along with our Whole30 coverage this month, you might have noticed a couple names popping up over and over again. We’ve mentioned the founders of the Whole30 program — Melissa Hartwig and Dallas Hartwig — numerous times, and we thought it was about time we sat down with one of them to get some more inspiration.

I caught up with Melissa over the phone last month to dive deeper into the spirit of Whole30 and learn more about what she eats on a daily basis. Read on for the self-proclaimed “Whole30 headmistress” on everything from common Whole30 misconceptions to the wonders of spiralizing.

Some fruit consumers in the Midwest will soon find that their apples won’t brown for weeks when exposed to air. That’s because the first batch of genetically modified apples are slated to go on sale in February or March of this year. The non-browning apples, which are also crispier in texture than non-modified apples, will be sold sliced and packaged by Canadian fruit company Okanagan Specialty Fruits.

The GMO apples — dubbed Arctic Apple — will be sold at 10 different Midwestern supermarket chains on a trial basis. The label will not disclose the product is genetically modified, but scanning the QR code of the apples will reveal this bit of information.

You did it! You just finished day 30 of the Whole30 program. Congratulations! You went a month without gluten, legumes, sugar, dairy, grains, and carrageenan and it’s time to celebrate. Break out the cake and Champagne and go to town, right? You can order pizza now, right?

Earlier in the challenge, I asked people to pose like Grok for a chance to win a pretty epic prize. The rules were simple, but the ingenuity and thought put into every submission were far from it. So after much posing, primping, and staging, here are our finalists!

Picking a short list of favorites was challenging, so the Worker Bees and I threw our favorites into a pot and chose the first six.

What do you think, folks? Who hits the most accurate pose? The most creative? The most intense? I’ve got to say, I’m impressed by each and every one of them. Pick your favorite and vote in the poll below.

Voting will close and a winner will be announced at 6 p.m. PST, Wednesday, January 25.

The virtues gained from packing a salad for lunch are many, but then again so are the potential pitfalls. Specifically, popping the lid off of a plastic container lined with limp lettuce and scattered with soggy and uninspired toppings does not bring lunchtime joy.

We’ve all been there, whether at a housewarming, engagement brunch, or Super Bowl party: You open the fridge to see a phalanx of beer bottles on one shelf, and then a stack of beer cans on another. Assuming, for the purposes of this exercise, that the cans and bottles are the same brand — which do you choose?

Based on the following five reasons, I say you should, without hesitation, reach for an icy-cold … can. Here’s why.
