I wasn't sure until the end if this might not have been better called 'Appetite". It's a very early computer generated animation that depicts just how easy it makes it for us, as human beings, to embrace a convenience society in which all sense of proportion is compromised. The imagery here isn't my favourite style of presentation, but as we see the original character morph into the end product, it's about as allegorical as you can get to the expansion of a societal need to take, and to take more and then to keep on taking - at the expense of ourselves and others or both. It becomes a grotesque travesty of humanity or perhaps a validation of what we want from it? There's something almost Dickensian about the conclusion and it's quite a thought provoking ten minutes that fifty years on might prove a little more providential than any of us might like!
