FOOD NEWS: The always trusty food pyramid, I am told, will soon go the way of all flesh, forced into an early retirement by bureaucrats who think the pyramid is too old for her job, and that she will be replaced by some other, younger shape. Attractive shapes from all over the country are converging on Hollywood, California in order to audition for the career-making roll in the hay. There is no word as yet who might be the nation’s new spokeshape for dietary planning, but from Wall Street rumors have been circulating that the food industry, with billions at steak and onions and maybe freedom fries on the side, is pinning its hoped on a lovely young dodecahedron from Chicago named Aurora Lopez, while industry giant Pepsi Cola is already planning to replace pop tart Brittany Spears with a Boolean five dimensional hypercube from St. Paul, Minnesota named Priscilla Jackson in order to appeal to younger consumers. The battle from the prize role has been intense and bitter, the Hollywood Reporter wrote in yesterday’s edition, with several shapes dropping out of the running after allegations of drug abuse and charges that they had appeared in pornographic films during the late 1990’s were made in the National Enquirer. Spokesmen for the shapes in question could not be reached for comment.
