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.
60Please respect copyright.PENANALNp8AslgUF
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.
60Please respect copyright.PENANAfqYh91lPFG
And then there’s seafood—some of which I’ve never even seen before.
60Please respect copyright.PENANAeYw1IWhhDs
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!
60Please respect copyright.PENANAsjimXLZRod
One thing leads to another.
60Please respect copyright.PENANAw73HaauKrr
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!
60Please respect copyright.PENANAgQYJJiXt7V
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—
