Fast food is addictive, cheap, and always near. There are direct correlations between heart disease, diabetes, crippling obesity and a Big Mac with fries, washed down with a big gulp of Coca-Cola. Marlos E’van looks at the pleasures and perils of that sugar rush. The addiction of the perpetually hungry. He explores systematic oppression through malnutrition of those living in food deserts limited to unnatural options.

E’van’s food is raw and grotesque. The chickens we get our nuggets from are sick, the fries are limp. Sitting up high Uncle Sam, the personification of patriotic hypocrisies, reminding you to Supersize.
