Description
The film begins with a close-up of a young man munching loudly on chips and other types of junk food. This is followed by shots of canned goods in the grocery aisle, and a sequence on the joys of making a spam sandwich. This is intercut with scenes of students smoking marijuana, then eating copious amounts of junk food from the vending machines. There are shots of a Pizza Hut, King's Food Host, and a few other fast food establishments strewn throughout - presumably - Iowa, where the film was ostensibly made.
