PLOT SUMMARY

A study of Man's relationships with his food. After eating breakfast, one man transforms into a bizarre contraption that dispenses food; two diners fail to attract a waiter in a restaurant so just start eating everything they can get their hands on; and we finally see a parade of meals made up from human organs.
