1. The Pyramids don't become obsolete, and granaries don't help the amount of food harvested each turn, so it's more likely that in striving to keep people happy, your governor is assigning entertainers to the point that food is dropping below 2x the city size.
2. That's just one more reason the luxury slider is such a powerful tool in the early game. Use it as much as is feasible to keep all your citizens working tiles. A more detailed breakdown is available in the Must Read Threads over on the strat forum, but the gist of it is that if bumping the slider 10% keeps you from having to assign entertainers in a city, the extra gold that would-be entertainer brings in by working a tile will pay for that 10% in that city. On top of that, you get the shields and, most importantly, food from that citizen.
