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.

After all, these were the cheapest and touted as the most environmentally friendly, low-carbon foods.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qlBhX1rXE
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.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IS27DKUmq
They’re real, whole fruits, not synthetic juices.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4S75licabZ
Cakes and desserts are piled up like small, colorful mountains, not vacuum-sealed ration bars.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhnIqFTC9F
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.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BdizdqYI6
Have some of these already gone extinct?

Summoning my courage, I slowly chew a piece of cooked meat.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxhnjtM1lj
The texture is so strange!
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HjDzw492N
Because it’s so delicious!
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeL7MTgllB
This is the first time in my life I’ve tasted something this good!
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9mfC8DgwI
One thing leads to another.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDau3fZLxpK
Once you start, you can’t stop.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgIgi08Jee
As I keep eating, I lose track of what I’m even tasting anymore.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3RWe2g1d1
There’s just too much to choose from!

No wonder so many people here have such extreme body types—either obese or painfully thin.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6iWiprnQM
The obese ones are like demons, greedily shoving food into their mouths.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOoKJYTWdj
The thin ones wear expressions of disgust, pushing their utensils around the piles of food without any appetite left.
94Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq91SF3pFbW
I keep eating... until suddenly, a wave of saltiness surges from my stomach up my throat—
