If there really was an "Eve" in this world, and her tasting the forbidden fruit was a taboo... then is the current situation also playing out a kind of taboo?

I’m wondering whether I should try the various foods in front of me—things I’ve only ever seen in e-books or old-world film clips.

In the past, what I ate the most were filling staples like easily grown potatoes and nuts, along with artificially manufactured composite protein-based meat substitutes, supplemented daily with bland vitamins and supplements.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4GriAAKhP
After all, these were the cheapest and touted as the most environmentally friendly, low-carbon foods.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVaZj2Wvdt
To put it bluntly, these were foods suited for humans living like cattle.

The wealthy would never lecture you about sustainability.

Just look at where those eco-friendly slogans and propaganda usually appear—public bus stops, town squares, open markets, public restrooms. These aren’t places the rich frequent.

Even more ironic is how many charity fundraisers themed around environmental protection are just gatherings of the upper class indulging in lavish feasts, wasting the planet’s resources together.

Is this place I’m in now also some kind of high society?

Here, fruits of every color—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet—are laid out.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBHEzuennz
They’re real, whole fruits, not synthetic juices.

Cakes and desserts are piled up like small, colorful mountains, not vacuum-sealed ration bars.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgzumkH1t1
All kinds of meats are served steaming hot, fragrant and enticing.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEzcSjCT0p
And then there’s seafood—some of which I’ve never even seen before.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAcUhDRGS5
Have some of these already gone extinct?

Summoning my courage, I slowly chew a piece of cooked meat.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBj43VrJdL8
The texture is so strange!
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BB0u4o7Dj
Because it’s so delicious!
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvH6ZcdDmt
This is the first time in my life I’ve tasted something this good!
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXTTahvzkq
One thing leads to another.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIr8W5CSvL
Once you start, you can’t stop.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPnScKHHiP
As I keep eating, I lose track of what I’m even tasting anymore.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqDFzHvRAg
There’s just too much to choose from!

No wonder so many people here have such extreme body types—either obese or painfully thin.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrImL8OWQZp
The obese ones are like demons, greedily shoving food into their mouths.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7bqYCWLUT
The thin ones wear expressions of disgust, pushing their utensils around the piles of food without any appetite left.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36wvX1HtZg
I keep eating... until suddenly, a wave of saltiness surges from my stomach up my throat—
