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.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykiEj2js3l
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.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtPFZloBg4
They’re real, whole fruits, not synthetic juices.

Cakes and desserts are piled up like small, colorful mountains, not vacuum-sealed ration bars.

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.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcMVxBuo2S
The texture is so strange!
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJOorEfp0Y
Because it’s so delicious!
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCW38ViS0x
This is the first time in my life I’ve tasted something this good!

One thing leads to another.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpDJ5SBJ6A
Once you start, you can’t stop.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQRxzKCEfs
As I keep eating, I lose track of what I’m even tasting anymore.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSDASlqtMV
There’s just too much to choose from!

No wonder so many people here have such extreme body types—either obese or painfully thin.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmnY1XsE82
The obese ones are like demons, greedily shoving food into their mouths.
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcst9k0nl2N
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—
