Fast Food is an urban fairy tale featuring Billy, a young lad who hates running, the prime reason being his brother Joe, who is a champion athlete.

She has Billy on an extreme diet to cut his weight down to that of her darling Joe.

His only ally is Grandad who has plans for a fleet of peanut vendors on bicycles. He and a friend are going to run as giant peanuts in the London Marathon to advertise the new venture. Billy wants no part of this, what with Joe with a good chance of winning, a massive crowd by the roadside, and Mum and Dad watching on TV, forget it! But then he does a good deed and gets magic shoes…
