Synopsis

Just before having her first sexual experience with her beloved girlfriend, Baby hears the words: “I’ve never been with a girl with even a bit of fat.” Pushed by her girlfriend, she starts working out rigorously at a gym her girlfriend signed her up for. Her PT tells her to eat chicken breast to lose weight—but Baby has never eaten meat in her life. Under gaslighting from both her girlfriend and the trainer, she tastes meat for the first time... and to her shock, it’s delicious. As her extreme diet leads to an eating disorder, Baby begins devouring every piece of meat in sight—embarking on another kind of ‘first time’.
