Lots of things tend to interrupt Twilight just when she's most into studying. When caloric requirement is the detractor from her latest research session, Twilight builds a machine to solve her problem once and for all. Her friends, however, aren't at all certain that her invention is something Equestria needs.
This was my entry into the Everfree Northwest 2016 Iron Author contest, edited slightly for grammar, but otherwise unchanged. The challenge was to write a fic within two hours with the three themes food, future, and facsimile. I'm posting mine out of peer pressure after a couple of my friends who participated put up their (superior) ones, which you can read on this site here and here. You can also look at the rest of the Iron Author submissions at this link. I was really proud of what I managed in two hours, but I'm not sure I made even the 60th percentile.
The description reminds me of a movie I saw, where a food satellite was created to solve world hunger, just name a food and it falls in front of you, everything was okay until it malfunctioned and started crushing people with gigantic food.
It's then up to some guy guy to save the world while hiding from the satellite and trying not to think of food while running through a food filled wasteland.
PS: nobody died... weird right.
7310094 Sounds like 'Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs'. I read the book as a child, it has great illustrations but no satellites.
