The Magic Ingredient Ed Halliday

In a world obsessed with diet, food, recipes, what to eat, what not to eat, fat, carbohydrate, being overweight, wouldn't it be great if there was a simple solution? Maybe some magic ingredient that could be added to food to make us all thin? Surely it would be wonderful if we could all eat whatever we wanted to and not worry about it? But maybe we should be careful what we wish for. Perhaps we can't have our cake and eat it! This darkly humorous cautionary tale of love, betrayal, jealousy and of course calories explores what could happen when one man decides to solve the obesity problem, culminating in a dystopian nightmare he could never have envisaged.
