June's Surplus Higher Than Expected »

Hell in a Handbasket
As the Department of Agriculture considers abandoning the "Food Pyramid" (is there anyone out there who has ever made a single feeding decision based upon this dopey thing?), Michele steps up to the plate (ahem) and offers the Food Pentagram.
Why a "Food Pyramid" in the first place? The "Food Pyramid" just never made any sense at all. Pyramids aren't food.
"The Food Soup," okay, I can understand that. "The Food Meal," okay, a little generic, but still something I "get."
Why not something intuitive and instantly memorable, like "the Food Sandwich"?:
See? It's all there. Bread, meat, dairy, a vegatable that you're probably not going to eat, nonstop profanity, creepy eyes...
