Pasta Wars: The year is 3145 AD. A dystopian future where all food is tasteless pink goo and everyone eats through feeding tubes. There aren't even flying cars. Or personal jetpacks. On one cold autumn morning, our young protagonist is looking through his great-grandmother's old things when he discovers an ancient, handwritten index card, yellowed and brittle with age. On it, in flowing cursive, is a recipe for mac and cheese. His life, and the lives of all people who eke a living in that grim time, are forever altered by that event.
Alternate story line - Type 2 Diabetes Strikes Back - Our young protagonist is digging in the barren lot outside his grey, blocky apartment complex when he unearths a box of Twinkie's. Astoundingly, the cream-filled cakes taste the same as the day they were made more than 1,000 years ago. Obesity once again threatens the earth.
George Lucas has been uninterested in my repeated attempts to sell him this storyline. I think this could be the breakthrough that sends his filmmaking career skyrocketing.
