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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2pMkIrpkt
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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavinTYSg1A
They’re real, whole fruits, not synthetic juices.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DJnQN8fB7
Cakes and desserts are piled up like small, colorful mountains, not vacuum-sealed ration bars.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1azgpYfERN
All kinds of meats are served steaming hot, fragrant and enticing.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVyLQjhafY
And then there’s seafood—some of which I’ve never even seen before.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjzD2mnDbE
Have some of these already gone extinct?

Summoning my courage, I slowly chew a piece of cooked meat.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN85QZIMCcP
The texture is so strange!
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTDkeCTOPT
Because it’s so delicious!
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbI86x7CrF
This is the first time in my life I’ve tasted something this good!
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yKVk0kDkO
One thing leads to another.

Once you start, you can’t stop.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlhQ85ZVV3
As I keep eating, I lose track of what I’m even tasting anymore.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkxKFf3WmJ
There’s just too much to choose from!

No wonder so many people here have such extreme body types—either obese or painfully thin.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6P7KRD5Dy
The obese ones are like demons, greedily shoving food into their mouths.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7vQ0mX3r1
The thin ones wear expressions of disgust, pushing their utensils around the piles of food without any appetite left.

I keep eating... until suddenly, a wave of saltiness surges from my stomach up my throat—
