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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oLqt8jv9i
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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tADf2tU64
They’re real, whole fruits, not synthetic juices.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bggv9j79D
Cakes and desserts are piled up like small, colorful mountains, not vacuum-sealed ration bars.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTx9rzd23t
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.

Have some of these already gone extinct?

Summoning my courage, I slowly chew a piece of cooked meat.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8Wdd6zfQF
The texture is so strange!
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWqQ9q6q6d
Because it’s so delicious!
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPldEjvShE
This is the first time in my life I’ve tasted something this good!

One thing leads to another.

Once you start, you can’t stop.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaJQj6yfhW
As I keep eating, I lose track of what I’m even tasting anymore.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42qBmYVfH2
There’s just too much to choose from!

No wonder so many people here have such extreme body types—either obese or painfully thin.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlBxcrs0BG
The obese ones are like demons, greedily shoving food into their mouths.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIv8pG2ddH
The thin ones wear expressions of disgust, pushing their utensils around the piles of food without any appetite left.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1HDn8nHG8
I keep eating... until suddenly, a wave of saltiness surges from my stomach up my throat—
