("Common Stock") of Envirodyne Industries, Inc.  ("Envirodyne"), a Delaware
corporation, whose principal executive offices are located at 701 Harger Road,
Suite 121, Oak Brook, Illinois 60521.


ITEM 2.   IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

     (a)  NAME:  The names of the reporting persons are the Malcolm Glazer
Trust ("Trust") and Malcolm I. Glazer.  Mr. Glazer is the sole trustee and,
during his lifetime, the sole beneficiary of the Trust.

     (b)  ADDRESS:  The business address of the Trust and Mr. Glazer is 1482
South Ocean Boulevard, Palm Beach, Florida 33480.

violations or similar misdemeanors).

     (e)  CIVIL PROCEEDINGS:  During the last five years, neither the Trust nor
Mr. Glazer has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or
administrative body of competent jurisdiction and, as a result of such

<PAGE>   5
All funds used or to be used to make such purchases were, or are expected to
be, obtained from Mr. Glazer's personal funds, which have been, or will be,
contributed to the Trust.


ITEM 4.   PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

     The Trust acquired the 1,746,151 shares referred to in Item 5 below for
the purpose of providing it with a significant equity investment in Envirodyne.
Subject to applicable legal requirements, the Trust is seeking to increase its
level of investment in Envirodyne by acquiring additional shares of Common
Stock in a private transaction currently being negotiated with a significant
Envirodyne Stockholder.

     Regardless of whether the Trust is successful in consummating such private
transaction, the Trust may, in the future, otherwise increase its level of
investment in Envirodyne.  At all times in the future, whether the Trust will
purchase additional shares will depend upon a continuing evaluation by Mr.
Glazer of various factors, including Envirodyne's financial condition, business
and prospects, other developments concerning Envirodyne, the attitudes and
actions of Envirodyne's management and Board of Directors, the market for the
shares, the availability of shares for purchase at particular price levels, the
availability and nature of other opportunities available to the Trust and Mr.
Glazer, the stock market and general economic conditions, the availability of
funds and other factors and future developments that Mr. Glazer deems relevant
from time to time.  In addition, depending upon, among other things, the
factors referred to above, Mr. Glazer may determine to have the Trust dispose
of all or a portion of the shares of Common Stock held by the Trust.

          Mr. Glazer may seek to obtain representation on Envirodyne's Board of
Directors.  Except as set forth in this Item 4, neither the Trust nor Mr.
Glazer has any specific plans or proposals with respect to Envirodyne (although
they reserve the right to develop any such plans or proposals) at this time
that relate to or would result in any of the actions specified in clauses (a)
through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

ITEM 5.   INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

     (a)  AGGREGATE NUMBER AND PERCENTAGE:  The Trust owns 1,746,151 shares of
Common Stock, which represents approximately 12.9% of the outstanding Common
Stock.   Mr. Glazer, as trustee of the Trust, is a beneficial owner with
respect to the 1,746,151 shares of Common Stock owned by the Trust.  These
percentages are based on the 13,500,000 shares of Common Stock reported as
outstanding as of May 13, 1994 by Envirodyne in its Form 10-Q for the quarterly
period ended March 31, 1994.
