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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFLA3mxQgx
After all, these were the cheapest and touted as the most environmentally friendly, low-carbon foods.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68oE66VZlv
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.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqXqDKbFMC
They’re real, whole fruits, not synthetic juices.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlj1a7oce7L
Cakes and desserts are piled up like small, colorful mountains, not vacuum-sealed ration bars.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6UgBGXPSm
All kinds of meats are served steaming hot, fragrant and enticing.

And then there’s seafood—some of which I’ve never even seen before.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GBl0KvY1g
Have some of these already gone extinct?

Summoning my courage, I slowly chew a piece of cooked meat.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNeBCbK8fp
The texture is so strange!
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aneNzxLDr
Because it’s so delicious!
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpErAQ8PUOE
This is the first time in my life I’ve tasted something this good!
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bDUjdtcef
One thing leads to another.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYziAl0Xxzt
Once you start, you can’t stop.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeIWXtVndD
As I keep eating, I lose track of what I’m even tasting anymore.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdYOjGL3cB
There’s just too much to choose from!

No wonder so many people here have such extreme body types—either obese or painfully thin.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQYiajNyRj
The obese ones are like demons, greedily shoving food into their mouths.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZp6atNwMZ
The thin ones wear expressions of disgust, pushing their utensils around the piles of food without any appetite left.
39Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDte4eyC71
I keep eating... until suddenly, a wave of saltiness surges from my stomach up my throat—
