Depends of what the definition of "IS" is. Sorry, couldn't help myself...

Why is it that I'm reminded of the scene from the (last funny) Woody Allen movie, "Sleeper," where he's woken up from a long sleep, and finds that everything that we think is bad for us is actually good...

This new pyramid is self-explanatory. Eat colors.

It needs to be a tesseract; then, you could really get inside it.

Do you remember the four food groups: Meat and Beans, Fruits and Veggies, Milk and Dairy, and Grains. Each meal, pick one serving from each group. What could be simpler. There was even a picture of a square cut into four smaller squares illustrating the four groups.

the four basic food groups: salt, fat, sugar, and preservatives.

I always think of the four food groups as...

Salty, greasy, crunchy, and sweet.

Eeee, Eewww, icky-poo!

No; NOT that!

A tesseract, a hyper-cube; a four dimensional cube.

A regular geometrical figure, with 8 equal sides, each of which is a cube.
