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.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmEdRkhZEi
After all, these were the cheapest and touted as the most environmentally friendly, low-carbon foods.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNKAQII2GK
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.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHucDIoSQG
They’re real, whole fruits, not synthetic juices.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMFhMHjqs3
Cakes and desserts are piled up like small, colorful mountains, not vacuum-sealed ration bars.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNo4V5Sm5Ll
All kinds of meats are served steaming hot, fragrant and enticing.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1I3ZMIBzdJ
And then there’s seafood—some of which I’ve never even seen before.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzIa1ItSjC
Have some of these already gone extinct?

Summoning my courage, I slowly chew a piece of cooked meat.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveuVdnmU8a
The texture is so strange!
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5fYSU3GEB
Because it’s so delicious!
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSeB60x4HH
This is the first time in my life I’ve tasted something this good!
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oa1SvyV2v
One thing leads to another.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19afL10ZeA
Once you start, you can’t stop.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14rNMzK6TC
As I keep eating, I lose track of what I’m even tasting anymore.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuCNCXLmFK
There’s just too much to choose from!

No wonder so many people here have such extreme body types—either obese or painfully thin.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqEs3GQo9H
The obese ones are like demons, greedily shoving food into their mouths.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCbbpjlCJP
The thin ones wear expressions of disgust, pushing their utensils around the piles of food without any appetite left.
24Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51KwzKqrVG
I keep eating... until suddenly, a wave of saltiness surges from my stomach up my throat—
